حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ بُکَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ خَسَفَتْ الشَّمْسُ قَامَ فَکَبَّرَ وَقَرَأَ قِرَائَةً طَوِيلَةً ثُمَّ رَکَعَ رُکُوعًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ وَقَامَ کَمَا هُوَ فَقَرَأَ قِرَائَةً طَوِيلَةً وَهِيَ أَدْنَی مِنْ الْقِرَائَةِ الْأُولَی ثُمَّ رَکَعَ رُکُوعًا طَوِيلًا وَهِيَ أَدْنَی مِنْ الرَّکْعَةِ الْأُولَی ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سُجُودًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّکْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتْ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ فِي کُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ إِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3203
Narrated `Aisha: On the day of a solar eclipse, Allah's Apostle stood up (to offer the eclipse prayer). He recited Takbir, recited a long recitation (of Holy Verses), bowed a long bowing, and then he raised h is head saying. "Allah 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, performed a long prostration and then performed the second rak`a in the same way as he had done the first. By the time he had finished his prayer with Taslim, the solar eclipse had been over. Then he addressed the people referring to the solar and lunar eclipses saying, "These are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse because of anyone's death or life. So, if you see them, hasten for the Prayer."
