The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed when there was an eclipse of the sun like our prayer, bowing and prostrating.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى حِينَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِثْلَ صَلاَتِنَا يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ
In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ the sun eclipsed and then he offered a two rakʿat prayer.
انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ
[AI] The sun was setting on the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he prayed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform rukoo' (bowing) and sujood (prostration). Hajjaj said, "Our prayers are like his prayers."
انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ مِثْلَ صَلَاتِنَا
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ لَهُ أَنْ يَجْهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِيهَا
Aishah said: "The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and it was called out: 'As-salatu jam'iah (prayer is about to begin in congregation).' So the people gathered and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in prayer, bowing four times in two rak'ahs and prostrating four times." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1473)
«كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ وَجَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed when there was an eclipse of the sun like our prayer, bowing and prostrating. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1489)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَّى حِينَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِثْلَ صَلَاتِنَا يَرْكَعُ وَيَسْجُدُ»
