English translation
1471. 'Aṭā' said: "I heard 'Ubaid bin 'Umayr say: "Someone whom I trust" - and I think he meant 'Aishah - told me: There was an eclipse of the sun during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He led the people in prayer and stood for a very long time, then he bowed, then he stood, then he bowed, then he stood, then he bowed. He prayed two Rak'ahs, bowing three times in each Rak'ah. After bowing for the third time he prostrated a long time. Some men fainted on that day and had to be revived by having buckets of water thrown over them, because of having stood for so long. When he bowed he said: Allāhu Akbar, and when he raised his head he said: Sami' Allāhu liman hamidah. He did not finish until the eclipse had ended. Then he stood and praised and glorified Allāh, and said: The sun and moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone, but they are two of the signs of Allāh with which He strikes fear into you. If they are eclipsed then turn to the remembrance of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, until it (the eclipse) is over." (Saḥīḥ)
