أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَفْصَةَ مَوْلَی عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا کَسَفَتْ الشَّمْسُ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ وَأَمَرَ فَنُودِيَ أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةٌ فَقَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَحَسِبْتُ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ ثُمَّ رَکَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّکُوعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ مِثْلَ مَا قَامَ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ ثُمَّ رَکَعَ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ رَکْعَتَيْنِ وَسَجْدَةً ثُمَّ جَلَسَ وَجُلِّيَ عَنْ الشَّمْسِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1486
Abu Hafsa, the freed slave of ‘Aishah, narrated that ‘Aishah told him: “When the sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , he performed Wudu and ordered that the call be given: ‘As-salatu jami’ah.’ He stood for a long time in prayer,” and ‘Aishah said: “I thought that he recited Sarah Al-Baqarah. Then he bowed for a long time, then he said: Sami’ Allahu lirnan Hamidah. Then he stood like he had stood before and he did not prostrate. Then he bowed, then prostrated. Then he stood up and did the same again, bowing twice and prostrating once. Then he sat and the eclipse ended.” (Hasan)
