Hadith 1385
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبٌ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّهُ صَلَّى فِي كُسُوفٍ ، فَقَرَأَ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَالأُخْرَى مَثَلُهَا " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : قَدْ خَرَّجْتُ طُرُقَ هَذِهِ الأَخْبَارِ فِي كِتَابِ الْكَبِيرُ ، فَجَائِزٌ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فِي الْكُسُوفِ كَيْفَ أَحَبَّ ، وَشَاءَ مِمَّا فَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عَدَدِ الرُّكُوعِ ، إِنْ أَحَبَّ رَكَعَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ رُكُوعَيْنِ ، وَإِنْ أَحَبَّ رَكَعَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ ثَلاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ ، وَإِنْ أَحَبَّ رَكَعَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ؛ لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأَخْبَارِ صِحَاحٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَهَذِهِ الأَخْبَارُ دَالَّةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ مَرَّاتٍ لا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) led the prayer of eclipse; he (peace be upon him) recited (Qur'an), then bowed (ruku'), then he (peace be upon him) recited again, then bowed, then he (peace be upon him) recited again, then bowed, then recited Qur'an, then bowed, then he (peace be upon him) performed prostrations (sujood), and the second rak'ah was also performed in the same manner. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I have mentioned the chains of these narrations in Kitab al-Kabir. Therefore, it is permissible for a person to perform as many bowings (ruku') in the eclipse prayer as he wishes, according to the method of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him). If he wishes to perform two bowings in each rak'ah, he may do so. And if he wishes, he may perform three bowings in each rak'ah. And if he prefers, he may perform four bowings in each rak'ah. Because all these narrations are authentically proven from the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him). And these narrations are evidence that the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the eclipse prayer not just once, but several times.
