Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were present with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) when a solar eclipse occurred. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) hurriedly went inside the mosque, dragging his lower garment (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words: he was dragging his garment). People also gathered around him. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in two units of prayer, just as you perform prayer. The eclipse ended. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards the people, and they gathered around him. He said: Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah, by which Allah causes fear in His servants. These two do not eclipse because of anyone’s death. (The narrator says) The son of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had passed away. (The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said) When you see any of these things (i.e., when you see an eclipse), then keep performing prayer until the eclipse ends. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in two units of prayer, just as you perform prayer, means: just as you perform two units of prayer for the eclipse, in which there are four bowings (ruku) and four prostrations (sujood), as we have mentioned earlier.
