Bayhaqi 6332 — Those who prayed two rak'ahs during an eclipse

مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ الْخُوَارِزْمِيُّ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ، ثنا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، ثنا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ قَالَ: " كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَثَابَ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَلَمَّا انْكَشَفَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ، وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ ". قَالَ: وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ ابْنًا لَهُ مَاتَ يُقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ نَاسٌ فِي ذَلِكَ. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، إِلَّا أَنَّ أَبَا مَعْمَرٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَهُ: " يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ "، وَقَدْ ذَكَرَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ وَقَوْلُهُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ مَعَ إِخْبَارِهِ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، يُرِيدُ بِهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ ⦗٤٦٢⦘ رُكُوعَيْنِ كَمَا أَثْبَتَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَعَائِشَةُ، وَجَابِرٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، وَرَوَاهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، فَقَالُوا فِي الْحَدِيثِ: فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ..
(a) Al-Hasan narrates from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him): We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when the sun was eclipsed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out dragging his cloak until he reached the mosque. The people also hurried, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in a prayer of two rak'ahs. When the eclipse ended, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. Through them Allah causes His servants to fear. They do not lose their light for anyone's death or life. When you see the sun or the moon eclipsed, pray until what has befallen you is removed." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this when people said that it had happened because of his (peace and blessings be upon him) son Ibrahim.
(b) In another narration it is reported from Abu Ma'mar that he did not mention the words 'through them Allah causes His servants to fear.'
(c) He (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in a prayer of two rak'ahs when his (peace and blessings be upon him) son Ibrahim died. What is meant by this is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two bowings in each rak'ah, as is established from Ibn Abbas, Aishah, Jabir and Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them); but Yazid bin Zuray' and others narrate from Yunus bin Ubayd that they said in the hadith: he prayed two rak'ahs as you pray.
