عَنْ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ وَأَمَرَ فَنُودِيَ أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً فَقَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ، قَالَتْ فَأَحْسِبُهُ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ: ((سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ)) ثُمَّ قَامَ مِثْلَ مَا قَامَ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ وَجُلِّيَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: During the time of the Prophet, there was a solar eclipse, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and gave the order, and the call "As-Salat Jami’ah" was announced. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer and stood for a long time. I think he recited Surah Al-Baqarah. Then he bowed (ruku’) and made a long bowing, then said "Sami’ Allahu liman Hamidah" and then stood again for as long as the previous standing, and did not prostrate. After that, he bowed again and then prostrated. Then he stood up (for the second rak’ah) and did the same as he had done in the first rak’ah, that is, he performed two bowings in one rak’ah, then sat down (for tashahhud), and by then the sun had become clear.
