1184. Tha'labah bin 'Ibād Al-'Abdī, from the city of Al-Baṣrah, narrated that he attended a Friday Khutbah of Samurah bin Jundab, in which Samurah said: "Once, a boy from the Anṣār and I were practicing (shooting arrows) at two targets of ours. When the sun had reached two or three spear's length over the horizon in the eyes of a beholder, it returned as if it were a Tannūmah.[1] One of us said to the other: 'Let us return to the Masjid, for, by Allāh, this (eclipse) of the sun will cause the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to do something new with the Ummah.' So we returned, and saw him clearly, leading (the people) in prayer. He led us in this prayer longer than he had led us in any other prayer, and we could not hear his voice. Then he went into Rukū' longer than any other Rukū' he had led us in, and we could not hear his voice. Then he went into prostration — longer than any prostration he had led us in before, and we could not hear his voice. He then repeated the same actions in the second Rak'ah. While he was sitting down in the second Rak'ah, the sun appeared again. He then
said the Taslīm, stood up, praised Allāh and glorified Him and testified that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, and that he is the servant and Messenger of Allāh..." then Aḥmad bin Yūnus (the narrator) completed the Khuṭbah of the Prophet ﷺ. (Hasan)
