Lu'lu' wal-Marjan

The respected wife of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), there was a solar eclipse. At that time, he went to the mosque and the people formed rows behind him. He said the takbir and recited the Qur'an for a long time. Then he said the takbir and performed a long bowing (ruku‘). Then, after saying "Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah," he stood up and did not prostrate (after rising from ruku‘). Then he recited the Qur'an for a long time again, but less than the first recitation. Then, with the takbir, he went into ruku‘ and remained in ruku‘ for a long time, but less than the first ruku‘. Then, with the takbir, he went into ruku‘ and remained in ruku‘ for a long time, but less than the first ruku‘. Now, after saying "Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah" and "Rabbana wa lakal hamd," he went into prostration. In the second rak‘ah, he did the same (in both rak‘ahs), making a total of four ruku‘ and four prostrations. Before the prayer was finished, the sun had already cleared. After the prayer, he stood and delivered a sermon. First, he praised Allah as He deserves, then said: "The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. Their eclipse does not occur due to the death or life of anyone. But when you see an eclipse, hasten to prayer immediately."
