1066. Narrated 'Urwa: 'Aishah رضي الله عنها said, "In the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ the sun eclipsed, and he made a person to announce : Aš-Šalātu Jāmi'a [Šalāt (prayer) in congregation].' He led the Šalāt and performed four bowings and four prostrations in two Rak'ā." Narrated Al-Walīd that 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Namir had informed him that he had heard the same. Ibn Shihāb heard the same. Az-Zuhri said, "I asked ('Urwa), 'What did your brother 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair do? He offered two Rak'ā [of the eclipse Šalāt (prayer)] like the morning Šalāt (prayer), when he offered the (eclipse) Šalāt in Al-Madīna? 'Urwa replied that he had missed (i.e., did not offer Šalāt according to) the legal way of its offering." Sulaimān bin Kathīr and Sufyān bin Ḥusain narrated from Az-Zuhri that the Šalāt (prayer) for the eclipse used to be offered with loud recitation.
