Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: During the time of the Prophet, there was a solar eclipse, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and gave the order, and the call "As-Salat Jami’ah" was announced. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer and stood for a long time. I think he recited Surah Al-Baqarah. Then he bowed (ruku’) and made a long bowing, then said "Sami’ Allahu liman Hamidah" and then stood again for as long as the previous standing, and did not prostrate. After that, he bowed again and then prostrated. Then he stood up (for the second rak’ah) and did the same as he had done in the first rak’ah, that is, he performed two bowings in one rak’ah, then sat down (for tashahhud), and by then the sun had become clear.
