1498. It was narrated that 'Āishah said: "There was an eclipse of the sun and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered a man to call out: As-salātu jāmi'ah (prayer is about to begin in congregation). The people gathered and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ led them in prayer. He said the Takbīr, then he recited at length. Then he said the Takbīr and bowed for a long time, as long as he had recited or longer. Then he raised his head and said: Sami' Allāhu liman hamidah (Allāh hears those who praise Him) Then he recited at length, but it was shorter than the first time, then he said the Takbīr and bowed for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he raised his head and said: Sami' Allāhu liman hamidah (Allāh hears those who praise Him). Then he said the Takbīr and prostrated for a long time, as long as he had bowed or longer. Then he said the Takbīr and raised his head, then he said the Takbīr and prostrated. Then he said the Takbīr and stood up, and recited for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he said the Takbīr and bowed for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he raised his head and said: Sami' Allāhu liman hamidah. (Allāh hears those who praise Him). Then he recited for a long time that was shorter than the first recitation in the second standing. Then he said the Takbîr and bowed for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he raised his head and said: Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah (Allâh hears those who praise Him). Then he said the Takbîr and prostrated for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he recited the Tashahhud, then he said the Taslim. Then he stood before them and praised and glorified Allâh, then he said: 'The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone, but they are two of the signs of Allâh. Whichever of them becomes eclipsed, turn to Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, and pray.'" (Sahîh)
