    (قلت: حديث صحيح. لكن الاقتصار فيه على الركوع الواحد في الركعة قصور! فقد أخرجه الشيخان من طريق أخرى عن ابن عمرو مختصرًا؛ وفيه: فركع ركعتين في سجدة ... وهو الثابت عن غيره عنه صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كما تقدم (١٠٧١ و ١٠٧٢)، وهو رواية لابن خزيمة والحاكم في طريق المؤلف)

1194. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr reported: “There was a solar eclipse during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up (in prayer), and it appeared that he would not go into Rukū‘. Then he went into Rukū‘, and it appeared that he would not stand up. Then he stood up, and it appeared that he would not prostrate. Then he prostrated, and it appeared that he would not raise up. Then he raised up, and it appeared that he would not prostrate. Then he prostrated, and it appeared that he would not stand up. Then he stood up, and repeated the same acts in the next Rak‘ah. He then whispered in the final prostration: ‘Uff, Uff,’ and said: ‘O Lord! Have You not promised me that you would not punish them while I was with them? Have You not promised me that You would not punish them while they are seeking forgiveness?’ So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ completed the prayer and the sun had appeared...” and he narrated the rest of the Hadith. (Hasan)

1194 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَرْكَعُ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ، فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَرْفَعُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَرْفَعُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ، فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَرْفَعُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ وَفَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فِي آخِرِ سُجُودِهِ، فَقَالَ: «أُفْ أُفْ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «رَبِّ، أَلَمْ تَعِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ؟ أَلَمْ تَعِدْنِي أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ؟» فَفَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ، وَقَدْ أَمْحَصَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ

Commentary

The different methods of performing the prayer reflect the differences in the duration of the eclipse.
