1490. Commentary: Like our regular prayer, this also included bowing (ruku‘) and prostration (sujud). It was not comprised of standing (qiyam) alone, nor was it that you, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, performed it in the manner of the eclipse prayer (salat al-kusuf). This narration does not discuss the number of bowings (ruku‘).

1193. Commentary:
It is established from authentic ahadith that this prayer consists of only two rak‘ahs, but in each rak‘ah there should be at least two bowings (ruku‘), and the recitation should be lengthy. See: previous ahadith regarding the eclipse.
