It was narrated that 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w), said: "The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went out to the Masjid and stood and said the Takbir, and the people formed rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) recited for a long time, then he said the Takbir and bowed for a long time. Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah; rabbana lakal-hamd (Allah hears those who praise Him; our Lord, to You be praise.)' Then he stood and recited for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he said the Takbir and bowed for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he said: 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah; rabbana lakal-hamd (Allah hears those who praise Him; our Lord, to You be praise.)' Then he prostrated - Abu At-Tahir (one of the narrators) did not say: "then he prostrated" - "then he did likewise in the second Rak'ah, until he had completed four bowings and four prostrations, and the eclipse ended before he finished the prayer. Then he stood and addressed the people. He praised Allah as He deserves to be praised, then he said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that, then hasten to pray.' He also said: 'Pray until Allah grants you relief.' And the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'While I was standing, I saw everything that you have been promised; I even saw myself wanting to take a bunch of grapes from Paradise when you saw me stepping forward. And I saw Hell, parts of it consuming other parts, when you saw me moving backwards. And I saw therein 'Amr bin Luhayy, who is the one who established the custom of As-Sa'ib."' The narration of Abu At-Tahir ends with the words, "then hasten to pray," and he did not mention what comes after that.
