English translation

1461. 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin Samurah said: "While I was (practicing) shooting some arrows in Al-Madînah, the sun became eclipsed. I gathered up my arrows and said: 'I want to see what the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ will say about the eclipse of the sun.' So I came to him from behind when he was in the Masjid, and he started to say the Tasbīḥ and Takbīr and to supplicate until the eclipse was over. Then he stood up and prayed two Rak'ahs with four prostrations." (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1460 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ هُوَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ حَيَّانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا أَتَرَامَى بِأَسْهُمٍ لِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِذْ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَجَمَعْتُ أَسْهُمِي، وَقُلْتُ: لَأَنْظُرَنَّ مَا أَحْدَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ مِمَّا يَلِي ظَهْرَهُ، وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ «فَجَعَلَ يُسَبِّحُ، وَيُكَبِّرُ، وَيَدْعُو حَتَّى حُسِرَ عَنْهَا»، قَالَ: «ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ»

Commentary

During the occurrence of the eclipse of the moon or the sun, a two-unit prayer would be offered, prolonged to whatever possible limit. Thereupon, glorification (Tasbihât) and the magnifications (Takbirât) would be recited, and supplications will be made until the eclipse ends.
