And the rest of the hadith is the same.

As he entered (the apartment) he sent for me and said: Do not repeat what you have done. Whenever you have observed the Jumu'a prayer, do not observe (Sunan prayer) till you, have talked or got out for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had ordered us to do this and not to combine two (types of) prayers without talking or going out.

And Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Malik ibn Anas, from Hisham ibn 'Urwah, from his father, from Aisha. And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah also narrated to us (and the wording is his), he said: Abdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us, Hisham narrated to us, from his father, from Aisha, who said: The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up to pray and prolonged the standing very much, then he bowed and prolonged the bowing very much, then he raised his head and prolonged the standing very much, though it was less than the first standing, then he bowed and prolonged the bowing very much, though it was less than the first bowing, then he prostrated, then he stood and prolonged the standing, though it was less than the first standing, then he bowed and prolonged the bowing, though it was less than the first bowing, then he raised his head and stood and prolonged the standing, though it was less than the first standing, then he bowed and prolonged the bowing, though it was less than the first bowing, then he prostrated, then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, finished and the sun had cleared. He then addressed the people, praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: "Indeed, the sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse for the death of anyone nor for his life. So when you see them, glorify Allah, supplicate to Allah, pray and give charity. O Ummah of Muhammad, there is none more protective than Allah that His servant should commit adultery or His female servant should commit adultery. O Ummah of Muhammad, by Allah, if you knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little. Have I conveyed (the message)?" And in the narration of Malik: "Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah."

Jabir reported that the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on that very day when Ibrahim (the Prophet's son) died. The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and led people in (two rak'ahs of) prayer with six ruku's and four prostrations. He commenced (the prayer) with takbir (Allah-o-Akbar) and then recited and prolonged his recital. He then bowed nearly the (length of time) that he stood up. He then raised his head from the ruku' and recited but less than the first recital. He then bowed (to the length of time) that he stood up. He then raised his head from the ruku' and again recited but less than the second recital. He then bowed (to the length of time) that he stood up. He then lifted his head from the ruku'. He then fell in prostration and observed two prostrations. He stood up and then bowed, observing six ruku's like it, without (completing) the rak'ah in them, except (this difference) that the first (qiyam of ruku') was longer than the later one, and the ruku' was nearly (of the same length) as prostration. He then moved backward and the rows behind him also moved backward till we reached the extreme ( Abu Bakr (RA) said: till he reached near the women) He then moved forward and the people also moved forward along with him till he stood at his (original) place (of worship). He then completed the prayer as it was required to complete and the sun brightened and he said: O people! verily the sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah and they do not eclipse at the death of anyone among people ( Abu Bakr (RA) said: On the death of any human being). So when you see anything like it (of the nature of eclipse), pray till it is bright. There is nothing which you have been promised (in the next world) but I have seen it in this prayer of mine. Hell was brought to me as you saw me moving back on account of fear lest its heat might affect me; and I saw the owner of the curved staff who dragged his intestines in the fire, and he used to steal (the belongings) of the pilgrims with his curved staff. If he (the owner of the staff) became aware, he would say: It got (accidentally) entangled in my curved staff, but if he was unaware of that, he would take that away. I also saw in it (in Hell) the owner of a cat whom she had tied and did not feed her nor set her free so that she could eat the creatures of the earth, till the cat died of starvation. Paradise was brought to me, and it was on that occasion that you saw me moving forward till I stood at my place (of worship). I stretched my hand as I wanted to catch hold of its fruits so that you may see them. Then I thought of not doing it. Nothing which you have been promised was there that I did not see in this prayer of mine.

She (Umm Salamah) said: When Abu Salama died. I uttered (these very words) as I was commanded (to do) by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . So Allah gave me better in exchange than him. i. e. (I was taken as the wife of) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) .

Umm Salamah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Whenever you visit the sick or the dead, supplicate for good because angels say "Amen" to whatever you say. She added: When Abu Salama died, I went to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, Abu Salama has died. He told me to recite: "O Allah! forgive me and him (Abu Salama) and give me a better substitute than he." So I said (this), and Allah gave me in exchange Muhammad, who is better for me than him (Abu Salama).

Umm Salamah reported: When Abu Salama died I said: I am a stranger in a strange land; I shall weep for him in a manner that would be talked of. I made preparation for weeping for him when a woman from the upper side of the city came there who intended to help me (in weeping). She happened to come across the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: Do you intend to bring the devil into a house from which Allah has twice driven him out?
