1180. 'Urwah bin Az-Zubair reported from 'Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that she said: "There was a solar eclipse during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went to the Masjid, stood up and said the Takbīr, and the people lined up (in rows) behind him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ recited (the Qur'an) for a long time, then said the Takbīr and went into Rukū' for a long time. Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami' Allāhu liman ḥamidah, Rabbanā wa lakal Ḥamd (Allāh hears those who praise Him; our Lord, and to You belongs praise).' So he stood up and recited a lengthy recitation, which was not as long as the first recitation. Then he said the Takbīr and went into Rukū' for a long time, but not as lengthy as the first Rukū'. Then he said: 'Sami' Allāhu liman ḥamidah, Rabbanā wa lakal Ḥamd (Allāh hears those who praise Him; our Lord, and to you belongs praise),' and he repeated the same acts in the other Rak'ah. So he completed four Rukū's and four prostrations, and the sun had become visible before he finished (the prayer)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

1180 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: خُسِفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَامَ فَكَبَّرَ وَصَفَّ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، فَاقْتَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ»، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاقْتَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا هُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ»، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَاسْتَكْمَلَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ، وَانْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ،
