Narrated Ubayy bin Kab: An eclipse of the sun took place in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ led them in prayer. He recited one of the long surahs, bowing five times and prostrating himself twice. He then stood up for the second rak'ah, recited one of the long surahs, bowed firve times, prostrated himself twice, then sat where he was facing the qiblah and made the supplication till the eclipse was over.
