It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "I performed the eclipse prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and throughout that entire prayer I did not hear a single letter (of recitation) from him (peace and blessings be upon him)."
Imam Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili recorded this hadith in his Musnad. Its chain contains the narrator Ibn Lahi'ah, who has been declared da'if (weak) because of his poor memory; however, this report is cited as scholarly evidence on the question of silent recitation in the eclipse prayer.
