Narrated Jabir: We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. He said: Make a general practice of wearing sandals, for a man keeps riding as long as he wears sandals.

Hadith Takhrij« تفرد بہ أبو داود، (تحفة الأشراف: 2971)، وقد أخرجہ: صحیح مسلم/اللباس 18 (2096)، مسند احمد (3/337) (صحیح) »
'Ata' reported: I heard 'Ubaid bin 'Umair say: It has been narrated to me by one whom I regard as truthful, (the narrator says: I can well guess that he meant 'A'isha) that the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he stood up (in prayer) for a rigorously long time. He then bowed and then stood up and then bowed and then stood up and then bowed, thus observing three ruku's in two rak'ahs and four prostrations. He then departed and the sun brightened. He pronounced "Allah is the Greatest" while bowing. He would then bow and say: "Allah listened to him who praised Him" while lifting up his head. He then stood up, and praised Allah and lauded Him, and then said: The sun and the moon do not eclipse on the death of anyone or on his birth. But both of them are among the signs of Allah with which Allah terrifies His servants. So when you see them under eclipse, remember Allah till they are brightened.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues: When an eclipse occurs of the sun or the moon, one should observe how much of it has become darkened, and accordingly, the prayer of solar eclipse (Salat al-Kusuf) or lunar eclipse (Salat al-Khusuf) will be performed. If the eclipse is complete, then in the lengthy standing (qiyam), three, four, or five bowings (ruku) will be performed in each unit (rak‘ah), and each subsequent standing and bowing will be shorter than the previous one. In this way, the two units (rak‘at) will be prolonged to such an extent that by the time the prayer is completed, the sun or moon will have become bright again. And for this, people will be invited to gather with the words (as-salatu jami‘ah), and the recitation (qira’ah) in the prayer will be done aloud.
