أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ 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 أَتَرَامَی بِأَسْهُمٍ لِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِذْ انْکَسَفَتْ الشَّمْسُ فَجَمَعْتُ أَسْهُمِي وَقُلْتُ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ مَا أَحْدَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي کُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ مِمَّا يَلِي ظَهْرَهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَعَلَ يُسَبِّحُ وَيُکَبِّرُ وَيَدْعُو حَتَّی حُسِرَ عَنْهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1465
‘Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah said: “While I was (practicing) shooting some arrows in Al-Madinah, the sun became eclipsed. I gathered up my arrows and said: ‘I want to see what the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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 TasbIi’z and Takbir and to supplicate until the eclipse was over. Then he stood up and prayed two Rak’ahs with four prostrations.” (Sahih)
