3203. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: On the day of a solar eclipse, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood up (to offer the eclipse prayer). He recited Takbīr, recited a long recitation (of Holy Verses), bowed a long bowing, and then he raised his head saying. "Allāh hears him who sends his praises to Him." Then he stayed standing, recited a long recitation again, but shorter than the former, bowed a long bowing, but shorter than the first, then prostrated (two) long prostrations and then performed the second Rak'a in the same way as he had done the first. By the time he had finished his Salāt (prayer) with Taslīm, the solar eclipse had cleared. Then he addressed the people referring to the solar and lunar eclipses saying, "These are two signs amongst the Signs of Allāh, and they do not eclipse because of anyone's death or life (i.e., birth). So, if you see them, hasten for the Salāt (eclipse prayer)."

3203 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، قَامَ فَكَبَّرَ وَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ»، وَقَامَ كَمَا هُوَ، فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، وَهِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ القِرَاءَةِ الأُولَى، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، وَهِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سُجُودًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الآخِرَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، فَقَالَ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَالقَمَرِ: «إِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ»
