Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8534 — The eclipse prayer: how many rakahs it

Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once, in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the sun was eclipsed while I was shooting arrows. I threw the arrows down and ran so that I could see what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would command at the solar eclipse. When I arrived, he was standing in prayer with his hands raised. In it he glorified Allah, praised Him, magnified Him and declared His oneness, then supplicated, until the sun became clear. When the sun had become clear, he recited two surahs and prayed two rak'ahs.
