Prayer during an earthquake

Abdullah bin al-Harith said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) led the people in the earthquake prayer, in which he made four prostrations and six bowings (ruku').

Shahr said: Once, in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was an earthquake in Madinah, and he said: "Your Lord wants you to turn back to Him and seek His pleasure, so seek His pleasure."

Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd said: Once, in the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), there was such an earthquake that the beds began to shake. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was praying at that time, and he did not feel the earthquake at all. On this occasion, Sayyiduna Umar addressed the people and said: "You have introduced new things (into the religion), and you have been very hasty." Safiyyah said: To my knowledge, after that he only said: "If the earthquake comes again, I will leave from among you."
