Bayhaqi 6334 — Those who prayed two rak'ahs during an eclipse

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ السَّكَنِ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ثنا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ حَيَّانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: " بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَرْمِي بِأَسْهُمٍ لِي فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذِ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَنَبَذْتُهُنَّ وَقُلْتُ: لَأَنْظُرَنَّ مَا يَحْدُثُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ الْيَوْمَ، قَالَ: فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ رَافِعٌ يَدَيْهِ يُسَبِّحُ، وَيَحْمَدُ، وَيُهَلِّلُ، وَيُكَبِّرُ، وَيَدْعُو، حَتَّى حَسَرَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ، فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيِّ. وَقَوْلُهُ: " فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ " يُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُرَادُهُ بِذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ، فَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ أَثْبَتُوهُ، وَالْمُثْبَتُ شَاهِدٌ، فَهُوَ أَوْلَى بِالْقَبُولِ.
(a) Abd al-Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was practising with my arrows during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly the sun was eclipsed. I threw them down and said: "I must see what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does today at the solar eclipse." I reached him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) had raised his hands and was glorifying Allah (tasbih), praising Him (tahmid), declaring His oneness (tahlil), magnifying Him (takbir) and supplicating, until the eclipse ended. He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited two surahs and prayed two rak'ahs.
(b) "He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited two surahs and prayed two rak'ahs": this may mean that he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two bowings in each rak'ah, as has been established.
