It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once during the blessed era of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), there was a solar eclipse, so the announcement was made: "The prayer is ready." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two bowings (ruku) in one rak'ah, and did the same in the second rak'ah. Then the sun became bright again. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that since that day, I have never seen such long bowings and prostrations.
