Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and he was not going to perform bowing till he bowed; and he was not going to raise his head till he raised (after bowing); and he was not going to prostrate himself till he prostrated himself; and he was not going to raise his head till he raised (at the end of prostration); he did similarly in the second rak'ah, he then puffed in the last prostration saying; Fie, Fie! He then said: My Lord, didst Thou not promise me that Thou wouldst not punish them so long as I will remain among them? Didst Thou not promise me that Thou will not punish them so long as they continue to beg pardon of Thee. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, and the sun was clear. The narrator then narrated the tradition (in full).

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1194. Commentary: ➊ In the eclipse prayer (salat al-kusuf), performing one bowing (ruku) in each unit (rak‘ah) is also permissible; however, the narration with two bowings in each unit is given preference. The standing (qiyam), bowing (ruku), and prostration (sujud) should be prolonged according to one’s ability.
