Narrated Mughirah bin Shu'bah (RA): That there was a solar eclipse in the time of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the day his son Ibrahim died. The people said, "The eclipse of the sun has happened due to the death of Ibrahim." Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "The sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs; they are not eclipsed due to the death or the life of anyone. So when you see them (the eclipse of the moon or sun) supplicate to Allah and offer prayers until the eclipse is over." [Agreed upon] . In a narration of al-Bukhari it has: "till it becomes bright." al-Bukhari's narration from Abu Bakrah (RA) has: Pray and supplicate (to Allah) till (the eclipse) is over."

Narrated 'Aishah (RA): Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) recited (from the Qur'an) in an audible voice in the prayer at an eclipse, and prayed two Rak'at in which he bowed four times and prostrated four times." [Agreed upon. This is the wording of Muslim] . In another narration of Muslim: "He ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent an announcer to announce: The prayer is (to be offered) in congregation".

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA): There was an eclipse of the sun in the life-time of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and then he prayed and stood for a long time, about as long as it would take to recite Surat al-Baqarah. Then, he bowed for a long time, and then he raised his head and stood for a long time, which was less than the first standing. Then, he bowed again for a long time, which was less than the first bowing. Then, he prostrated (twice) and then he stood for a long time, which was less than the first time standing. Then, he bowed for a long time, which was less than the first bowing. Then, he raised his head and stood up for a long time, which was less than the first standing. Then, he bowed for a long time, which was less than the first bowing. Then he prostrated (twice), and then he finished (the prayer), and the sun had become bright. He then delivered a Khutbah (religious talk, sermon). [Agreed upon. And the wording is al-Bukhari's] . In a narration of Muslim: "When there was an eclipse of the sun, Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) performed eight bowings with four prostrations (in a two Rak'ah prayer for Eclipse)". Muslim reported from 'Ali (RA) similarly. He also reported from Jabir (RA): "He [Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )] performed six bowings with four prostrations (in a two Rak'ah prayer for Eclipse)." Narrated Ubai bin Ka'b (RA): "He [the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )] prayed (the Eclipse prayer) and bowed five times and prostrated twice (in the first Rak'ah), and in the second Rak'a he also did the same." [Abu Dawud]
