English translation
1058. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ the sun eclipsed and the Prophet ﷺ stood up to offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) with the people and recited a long recitation, then he performed a prolonged bowing; and then lifted his head and recited a prolonged recitation which was shorter than the first. Then he performed a prolonged bowing which was shorter than the first and then lifted his head up and performed two prostrations. He then stood up for the second Rak'a and offered it like the first. Then (after finishing the Ṣalāt) he stood up and said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's life (i.e., birth) or death but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allāh which He shows to His worshippers. So whenever you see them, make haste for the Ṣalāt (prayer).”
