حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ، قَالَ : كُسِفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، " فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ " .
Narrated An-Numan ibn Bashir: There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Prophet ﷺ. He began to pray a series of pairs of rak'ahs enquiring about the sun (at the end of them) till it became clear.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1490. Commentary: Like our regular prayer, this also included bowing (ruku‘) and prostration (sujud). It was not comprised of standing (qiyam) alone, nor was it that you, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, performed it in the manner of the eclipse prayer (salat al-kusuf). This narration does not discuss the number of bowings (ruku‘).
