Hadith 15098

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ , عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ , قَالَ : " خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي يَوْمٍ شَدِيدِ الْحَرِّ , فَصَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ , فَأَطَالَ الْقَيَّامَ حَتَّى جَعَلُوا يَخِرُّونَ , ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ , ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ , ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ , ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ , ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ , ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَنَعَ نَحْوًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ , فَكَانَتْ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ , وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was a solar eclipse in intense heat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his companions in a long prayer until people began to fall down. Then he performed a long bowing (ruku‘), then stood up for a long time after raising his head, then performed another long bowing, and then stood up for a long time after raising his head, then performed two prostrations. In the second rak‘ah, he did the same. Thus, there were four bowings and four prostrations in this prayer.
