Sahih Muslim — Prayer - Eclipses

A'isha reported that there was a solar eclipse in the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He stood up to pray and prolonged his stand very much. He then bowed and prolonged very much his bowing. He then raised his head and prolonged his stand much, but it was less than the (duration) of the first stand. He then bowed and prolonged bowing much, but it was less than the duration of his first bowing. He then prostrated and then stood up and prolonged the stand, but it was less than the first stand. He then bowed and prolonged his bowing, but it was less than the first bowing. He then lifted his head and then stood up and prolonged his stand, but it was less than the first stand. He then bowed and prolonged bowing and it was less than the first bowing. He then prostrated himself; then he turned about, and the sun had become bright, and he addressed the people. He praised Allah and landed Him and said:The sun and the moon are two signs of Allah; they are not eclipsed on account of anyones death or on account of anyone's birth. So when you see them, glorify and supplicate Allah, observe prayer, give alms. O Ummah of Muhammad, none is more indignant than Allah When His servant or maid commits fornication. O people of Muhammad, by Allah, if you knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little

وحدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، عن مالك بن انس، عن هشام بن عروة، عن ابيه، عن عايشة، ح. وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، - واللفظ له - قال حدثنا عبد الله بن نمير، حدثنا هشام، عن ابيه، عن عايشة، قالت خسفت الشمس في عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي فاطال القيام جدا ثم ركع فاطال الركوع جدا ثم رفع راسه فاطال القيام جدا وهو دون القيام الاول ثم ركع فاطال الركوع جدا وهو دون الركوع الاول ثم سجد ثم قام فاطال القيام وهو دون القيام الاول ثم ركع فاطال الركوع وهو دون الركوع الاول ثم رفع راسه فقام فاطال القيام وهو دون القيام الاول ثم ركع فاطال الركوع وهو دون الركوع الاول ثم سجد ثم انصرف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد تجلت الشمس فخطب الناس فحمد الله واثنى عليه ثم قال " ان الشمس والقمر من ايات الله وانهما لا ينخسفان لموت احد ولا لحياته فاذا رايتموهما فكبروا وادعوا الله وصلوا وتصدقوا يا امة محمد ان من احد اغير من الله ان يزني عبده او تزني امته يا امة محمد والله لو تعلمون ما اعلم لبكيتم كثيرا ولضحكتم قليلا الا هل بلغت " . وفي رواية مالك " ان الشمس والقمر ايتان من ايات الله

This hadith has been narrated by Hisham b. 'Urwa with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition:" Verily the sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah." And similarly this addition was made:" He then lifted his hands and said: O Allah! have I not conveyed it?

حدثناه يحيى بن يحيى، اخبرنا ابو معاوية، عن هشام بن عروة، بهذا الاسناد وزاد ثم قال " اما بعد فان الشمس والقمر من ايات الله " . وزاد ايضا ثم رفع يديه فقال " اللهم هل بلغت

A'isha, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), reported There was an eclipse of the sun during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). So, the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) went to the mosque and stood up and glorified Allah, and the people formed themselves in rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made a long recital (of the Qur'an) and then pronounced takbir and then observed a long ruku'. He then raised his head and said:Allah listened to him who praised Him: our Lord, praise is due to Thee. He then again stood up and made a long recital, which was less than the first recital. He pronounced takbir and observed a long ruku', and it was less than the first one. He again said: Allah listened to him who praised Him; our Lord, praise is due to Thee. (Abu Tahir, one of the narrators) made no mention of:" He then prostrated himself." He did like this in the second rak'ah, till he completed four rak'ahs and four prostrations and the sun became bright before he deported. He then stood up and addressed people, after lauding Allah as He deserved, and then said: The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah These do not eclipse either on the death of anyone or on his birth. So when you see them, hasten to prayer. He also said this: Observe prayer till Allah dispels the anxiety (of this extraordinary phenomenon) from you. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I saw in my place everything which you have been promised. I even saw myself desiring to pluck a bunch (of grapes) from Paradise (and it was at the time) when you saw me moving forward. And I saw Hell and some of its parts crushing the others, when you saw me moving back; and I saw in it Ibn Luhayy and he was the person who made the she-camels loiter about. In the hadith transmitted by Abu Tahir the words are:" He hastened to prayer," and he made no mention of what follows

حدثني حرملة بن يحيى، اخبرني ابن وهب، اخبرني يونس، ح وحدثني ابو الطاهر، ومحمد بن سلمة المرادي قالا حدثنا ابن وهب، عن يونس، عن ابن شهاب، قال اخبرني عروة بن الزبير، عن عايشة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت خسفت الشمس في حياة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فخرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الى المسجد فقام وكبر وصف الناس وراءه فاقترا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قراءة طويلة ثم كبر فركع ركوعا طويلا ثم رفع راسه فقال " سمع الله لمن حمده ربنا ولك الحمد " . ثم قام فاقترا قراءة طويلة هي ادنى من القراءة الاولى ثم كبر فركع ركوعا طويلا هو ادنى من الركوع الاول ثم قال " سمع الله لمن حمده ربنا ولك الحمد " . ثم سجد - ولم يذكر ابو الطاهر ثم سجد - ثم فعل في الركعة الاخرى مثل ذلك حتى استكمل اربع ركعات واربع سجدات وانجلت الشمس قبل ان ينصرف ثم قام فخطب الناس فاثنى على الله بما هو اهله ثم قال " ان الشمس والقمر ايتان من ايات الله لا يخسفان لموت احد ولا لحياته فاذا رايتموها فافزعوا للصلاة " . وقال ايضا " فصلوا حتى يفرج الله عنكم " . وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " رايت في مقامي هذا كل شىء وعدتم حتى لقد رايتني اريد ان اخذ قطفا من الجنة حين رايتموني جعلت اقدم - وقال المرادي اتقدم - ولقد رايت جهنم يحطم بعضها بعضا حين رايتموني تاخرت ورايت فيها ابن لحى وهو الذي سيب السوايب " . وانتهى حديث ابي الطاهر عند قوله " فافزعوا للصلاة " . ولم يذكر ما بعده

A'isha reported that there was a solar eclipse during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) and he sent the announcer (to summon them) for congregational prayer. The people gathered together and he pronounced takbir and he observed four rak'ahs, in the form of two rak'ahs (i. e. he observed two qiyams and two ruku's in one rak'ah) and four prostrations

وحدثنا محمد بن مهران الرازي، حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم، قال قال الاوزاعي ابو عمرو وغيره سمعت ابن شهاب الزهري، يخبر عن عروة، عن عايشة، ان الشمس، خسفت على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فبعث مناديا " الصلاة جامعة " . فاجتمعوا وتقدم فكبر . وصلى اربع ركعات في ركعتين واربع سجدات

A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited loudly in the eclipse prayer, and he observed four rak'ahs in the form of two rak'ahs and four prostrations. Zuhri said:Kathir b. 'Abbas narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed four rak'ahs and four prostrations in two rak'ahs

وحدثنا محمد بن مهران، حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم، اخبرنا عبد الرحمن بن نمر، انه سمع ابن شهاب، يخبر عن عروة، عن عايشة، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم جهر في صلاة الخسوف بقراءته فصلى اربع ركعات في ركعتين واربع سجدات . قال الزهري واخبرني كثير بن عباس، عن ابن عباس، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم انه صلى اربع ركعات في ركعتين واربع سجدات

Zuhri said:Kathir b. Abbas used to narrate that Ibn 'Abbas used to relate about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in regard to the eclipse of the sun like that what was narrated by 'Urwa on the authority of 'A'isha

وحدثنا حاجب بن الوليد، حدثنا محمد بن حرب، حدثنا محمد بن الوليد الزبيدي، عن الزهري، قال كان كثير بن عباس يحدث ان ابن عباس، كان يحدث عن صلاة، رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم كسفت الشمس بمثل ما حدث عروة عن عايشة

Ata' reported:I heard 'Ubaid b. 'Umair say: It has been narrated to me by one whom I regard as truthful, (the narrator says: I can well guess that he meant 'A'isha) that the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he stood up (in prayer) for a rigorously long time. He then bowed and then stood up and then bowed and then stood up and then bowed, thus observing three ruku's in two rak'ahs and four prostrations. He then departed and the sun brightened. He pronounced" Allah is the Greatest" while bowing. He would then bow and say:" Allah listened to him who praised Him" while lifting up his head. He then stood up, and praised Allah and lauded Him, and then said: The sun and the moon do not eclipse on the death of anyone or on his birth. But both of them are among the signs of Allah with which Allah terrifies His servants. So when you see them under eclipse, remember Allah till they are brightened

وحدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، اخبرنا محمد بن بكر، اخبرنا ابن جريج، قال سمعت عطاء، يقول سمعت عبيد بن عمير، يقول حدثني من، اصدق - حسبته يريد عايشة - ان الشمس انكسفت على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقام قياما شديدا يقوم قايما ثم يركع ثم يقوم ثم يركع ثم يقوم ثم يركع ركعتين في ثلاث ركعات واربع سجدات فانصرف وقد تجلت الشمس وكان اذا ركع قال " الله اكبر " . ثم يركع واذا رفع راسه قال " سمع الله لمن حمده " . فقام فحمد الله واثنى عليه ثم قال " ان الشمس والقمر لا يكسفان لموت احد ولا لحياته ولكنهما من ايات الله يخوف الله بهما عباده فاذا رايتم كسوفا فاذكروا الله حتى ينجليا

This hadith is narrated thus on the authority of 'A'isha through another chain of transmitters:" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed six ruku's and four prostration in (two rak'ahs)

وحدثني ابو غسان المسمعي ، ومحمد بن المثنى ، قالا : حدثنا معاذ وهو ابن هشام ، حدثني ابي ، عن قتادة ، عن عطاء بن ابي رباح عن عبيد بن عمير ، عن عايشة ، ان نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " صلى ست ركعات واربع سجدات

Amra reported that a Jewess came to 'A'isha to ask (about something) and said:May Allah protect you from the torment of the grave! 'A'isha said: Messenger of Allah, would people be tormented in the graves? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: (May there be) protection of Allah! The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mounted one morning on the ride, and the sun eclipsed. 'A'isha said: I came in the company of the women in the mosque from behind the rooms. The Messenger of Allah (way peace he upon him) dismounted from his ride and came to the place of worship where he used to pray. He stood up (to pray) and the people stood behind him. 'A'isha said: He stood for a long time. He then bowed and it was a long ruku'. He then raised his head and he stood for a long time, less than the first standing. He then bowed and his ruku' was long, but it was less than that (the first) ruku'. He then raised (his head) and the sun had become bright. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: I saw you under trial in the grave like the turmoil of Dajjal. 'Amra said: I heard 'A'isha say: I listened after this to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) seeking refuge from the torment of Fire and the torment of the grave

وحدثنا عبد الله بن مسلمة القعنبي، حدثنا سليمان، - يعني ابن بلال - عن يحيى، عن عمرة، ان يهودية، اتت عايشة تسالها فقالت اعاذك الله من عذاب القبر . قالت عايشة فقلت يا رسول الله يعذب الناس في القبور قالت عمرة فقالت عايشة قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عايذا بالله ثم ركب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات غداة مركبا فخسفت الشمس . قالت عايشة فخرجت في نسوة بين ظهرى الحجر في المسجد فاتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من مركبه حتى انتهى الى مصلاه الذي كان يصلي فيه فقام وقام الناس وراءه - قالت عايشة - فقام قياما طويلا ثم ركع فركع ركوعا طويلا ثم رفع فقام قياما طويلا وهو دون القيام الاول ثم ركع فركع ركوعا طويلا وهو دون ذلك الركوع ثم رفع وقد تجلت الشمس فقال " اني قد رايتكم تفتنون في القبور كفتنة الدجال " . قالت عمرة فسمعت عايشة تقول فكنت اسمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعد ذلك يتعوذ من عذاب النار وعذاب القبر

This hadith has been narrated by Yahya b. Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters

وحدثناه محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا عبد الوهاب، ح وحدثنا ابن ابي عمر، حدثنا سفيان، جميعا عن يحيى بن سعيد، في هذا الاسناد بمثل معنى حديث سليمان بن بلال

Jabir reported that the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on that very day when Ibrahim (the Prophet's son) died. The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and led people in (two rak'ahs of) prayer with six ruku's and four prostrations. He commenced (the prayer) with takbir (Allah-o-Akbar) and then recited and prolonged his recital. He then bowed nearly the (length of time) that he stood up. He then raised his head from the ruku' and recited but less than the first recital. He then bowed (to the length of time) that he stood up. He then raised his head from the ruku' and again recited but less than the second recital. He then bowed (to the length of time) that he stood up. He then lifted his head from the ruku'. He then fell in prostration and observed two prostrations. He stood up and then bowed, observing six ruku's like it, without (completing) the rak'ah in them, except (this difference) that the first (qiyam of ruku') was longer than the later one, and the ruku' was nearly (of the same length) as prostration. He then moved backward and the rows behind him also moved backward till we reached the extreme (Abu Bakr said:till he reached near the women) He then moved forward and the people also moved forward along with him till he stood at his (original) place (of worship). He then completed the prayer as it was required to complete and the sun brightened and he said: O people! verily the sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah and they do not eclipse at the death of anyone among people (Abu Bakr said: On the death of any human being). So when you see anything like it (of the nature of eclipse), pray till it is bright. There is nothing which you have been promised (in the next world) but I have seen it in this prayer of mine. Hell was brought to me as you saw me moving back on account of fear lest its heat might affect me; and I saw the owner of the curved staff who dragged his intestines in the fire, and he used to steal (the belongings) of the pilgrims with his curved staff. If he (the owner of the staff) became aware, he would say: It got (accidentally) entangled in my curved staff, but if he was unaware of that, he would take that away. I also saw in it (in Hell) the owner of a cat whom she had tied and did not feed her nor set her free so that she could eat the creatures of the earth, till the cat died of starvation. Paradise was brought to me, and it was on that occasion that you saw me moving forward till I stood at my place (of worship). I stretched my hand as I wanted to catch hold of its fruits so that you may see them. Then I thought of not doing it. Nothing which you have been promised was there that I did not see in this prayer of mine

Asma' reported:The sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). As I went to 'A'isha who was busy in prayer. I said: What is the matter with the people that they are praying (a special prayer)? She ('A'isha) pointed towards the sky with her head. I said: Is it (an unusual) sign? She said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up for prayer for such a long time that I was about to faint. I caught hold of a waterskin lying by my side, and began to pour water over my head, or (began to sprinkle water) on my face. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then finished and the sun had brightened. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then addressed the people, (after) praising Allah and lauding Him, and then said: There was no such thing as I did not see earlier, but I saw it at this very place of mine. I ever saw Paradise and Hell. It was also revealed to me that you would be tried in the graves, as you would he tried something like the turmoil of the Dajjal. Asma' said: I do not know which word he actually used (qariban or mithl), and each one of you would be brought and it would be said: What is your knowledge about this man? If the person is a believer, (Asma' said: I do not know whether it was the word al-Mu'min or al-Mu'qin) he would say: He is Muhammad and he is the Messenger of Allah. He brought to us the clear signs and right guidance. So we responded and obeyed him. (He would repeat this three times), and it would be said to him: You should go to sleep. We already knew that you are a believer in him. So the pious man would go to sleep. So far as the hypocrite or sceptic is concerned (Asma' said: I do not know which word was that: al-Munafiq (hypocrite) or al-Murtad (doubtful) he would say: I do not know. I only uttered whatever I heard people say

حدثنا محمد بن العلاء الهمداني، حدثنا ابن نمير، حدثنا هشام، عن فاطمة، عن اسماء، قالت خسفت الشمس على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فدخلت على عايشة وهي تصلي فقلت ما شان الناس يصلون فاشارت براسها الى السماء فقلت اية قالت نعم . فاطال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم القيام جدا حتى تجلاني الغشى فاخذت قربة من ماء الى جنبي فجعلت اصب على راسي او على وجهي من الماء - قالت - فانصرف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد تجلت الشمس فخطب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الناس فحمد الله واثنى عليه ثم قال " اما بعد ما من شىء لم اكن رايته الا قد رايته في مقامي هذا حتى الجنة والنار وانه قد اوحي الى انكم تفتنون في القبور قريبا او مثل فتنة المسيح الدجال - لا ادري اى ذلك قالت اسماء - فيوتى احدكم فيقال ما علمك بهذا الرجل فاما المومن او الموقن - لا ادري اى ذلك قالت اسماء - فيقول هو محمد هو رسول الله جاءنا بالبينات والهدى فاجبنا واطعنا . ثلاث مرار فيقال له نم قد كنا نعلم انك لتومن به فنم صالحا واما المنافق او المرتاب - لا ادري اى ذلك قالت اسماء - فيقول لا ادري سمعت الناس يقولون شييا فقلت

Asma' bint Abu Bakr said:The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) was one day (i. e. on the day when the sun eclipsed) so perturbed that he (in haste) took hold of the outer garment (of a female member of his family) and it was later on that his (own) cloak was sent to him. He stood in prayer along with people for such a long time that if a man came he did not realise that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had observed ruku', as it has been narrated about ruku' in connection with long qiyam

حدثنا يحيى بن حبيب الحارثي، حدثنا خالد بن الحارث، حدثنا ابن جريج، حدثني منصور بن عبد الرحمن، عن امه، صفية بنت شيبة عن اسماء بنت ابي بكر، انها قالت فزع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوما - قالت تعني يوم كسفت الشمس - فاخذ درعا حتى ادرك بردايه فقام للناس قياما طويلا لو ان انسانا اتى لم يشعر ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ركع ما حدث انه ركع من طول القيام

Abu Juraij narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters (but with the addition of these words):" It was for a long duration that he (the Holy Prophet) observed qiyam and he would then observe ruku'. (The narrator also added) I (Asma') looked at a woman who was older than I, and at another who was weaker than I

وحدثني سعيد بن يحيى الاموي، حدثني ابي، حدثنا ابن جريج، بهذا الاسناد مثله وقال قياما طويلا يقوم ثم يركع وزاد فجعلت انظر الى المراة اسن مني والى الاخرى هي اسقم مني

Asma' daughter of Abu Bakr reported:The sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ; so he felt perturbed and he, by mistake, took hold of the outer garment of a woman till he was given his own cloak. After this I satisfied my need and then came and entered the mosque. I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) standing in prayer. I stood along with him. He prolonged his qiyam till I wished to sit down. Then I cast a glance towards an old woman. So I said: She is older than I. I, therefore, kept standing. He (the Holy Prophet) then observed ruku', and prolonged his ruku'. He then raised his head. He then prolonged his qiyam to such an extent that if a person happened to come he would have thought that he had not observed the ruku

وحدثني احمد بن سعيد الدارمي، حدثنا حبان، حدثنا وهيب، حدثنا منصور، عن امه، عن اسماء بنت ابي بكر، قالت كسفت الشمس على عهد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ففزع فاخطا بدرع حتى ادرك بردايه بعد ذلك قالت فقضيت حاجتي ثم جيت ودخلت المسجد فرايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قايما فقمت معه فاطال القيام حتى رايتني اريد ان اجلس ثم التفت الى المراة الضعيفة فاقول هذه اضعف مني . فاقوم فركع فاطال الركوع ثم رفع راسه فاطال القيام حتى لو ان رجلا جاء خيل اليه انه لم يركع

Ibn 'Abbas reported:There was an eclipse of the sun during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ) prayed accompanied by the people. He stood for a long time, about as long as it would take to recite Surah al-Baqara; then he bowed for a long time; then he raised his head and stood for a long time, but it was less than the first qiyam. He then bowed for a long time but for a shorter while than the first. He then prostrated and then stood for a long time, but it was less than the first qiyam. He then bowed for a long time, but it was less than the first bowing. He then raised (his head) and stood for a long time, but it was less than the first qiyam. He then bowed for a long time but it was less than the first bowing. He then observed prostration, and then he finished, and the sun had cleared (by that time). He (the Holy Prophet) then said: The sun and moon are two signs from the signs of Allah. These two do not eclipse on account of the death of anyone or on account of the birth of anyone. So when you see that, remember Allah. They (his Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, we saw you reach out to something, while you were standing here, then we saw you restrain yourself. He said: I saw Paradise and reached out to a bunch of its grapes; and had I taken it you would have eaten of it as long as the world endured. I saw Hell also. No such (abominable) sight have I ever seen as that which I saw today; and I observed that most of its inhabitants were women. They said: Messenger of Allah, on what account is it so? He said: For their ingratitude or disbelief (bi-kufraihinna). It was said: Do they disbelieve in Allah? He said: (Not for their disbelief in God) but for their ingratitude to their husbands and ingratitude to kindness. If you were to treat one of them kindly for ever, but if she later saw anything (displeasing) in you, she would say: I have never seen any good in you

حدثنا سويد بن سعيد، حدثنا حفص بن ميسرة، حدثني زيد بن اسلم، عن عطاء، بن يسار عن ابن عباس، قال انكسفت الشمس على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والناس معه فقام قياما طويلا قدر نحو سورة البقرة ثم ركع ركوعا طويلا ثم رفع فقام قياما طويلا وهو دون القيام الاول ثم ركع ركوعا طويلا وهو دون الركوع الاول ثم سجد ثم قام قياما طويلا وهو دون القيام الاول ثم ركع ركوعا طويلا وهو دون الركوع الاول ثم رفع فقام قياما طويلا وهو دون القيام الاول ثم ركع ركوعا طويلا وهو دون الركوع الاول ثم سجد ثم انصرف وقد انجلت الشمس فقال " ان الشمس والقمر ايتان من ايات الله لا ينكسفان لموت احد ولا لحياته فاذا رايتم ذلك فاذكروا الله " . قالوا يا رسول الله رايناك تناولت شييا في مقامك هذا ثم رايناك كففت . فقال " اني رايت الجنة فتناولت منها عنقودا ولو اخذته لاكلتم منه ما بقيت الدنيا ورايت النار فلم ار كاليوم منظرا قط ورايت اكثر اهلها النساء " . قالوا بم يا رسول الله قال " بكفرهن " . قيل ايكفرن بالله قال " بكفر العشير وبكفر الاحسان لو احسنت الى احداهن الدهر ثم رات منك شييا قالت ما رايت منك خيرا قط

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zaid b. Aslam with the same chain of transmitters except with this difference that he (the narrator said):" then we saw you keeping aloof (back)

وحدثناه محمد بن رافع، حدثنا اسحاق، - يعني ابن عيسى - اخبرنا مالك، عن زيد بن اسلم، في هذا الاسناد بمثله غير انه قال ثم رايناك تكعكعت

Ibn 'Abbas reported:When there was a solar eclipse the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) observed eight ruku's and four prostrations (in two rak'ahs). This has been narrated by 'Ali also

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا اسماعيل ابن علية، عن سفيان، عن حبيب، عن طاوس، عن ابن عباس، قال صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين كسفت الشمس ثمان ركعات في اربع سجدات . وعن علي مثل ذلك

Ibn 'Abbas reported:The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) observed prayer while it was (solar) eclipse. He recited (the Qur'an in qiyam) and then bowed. He again recited and again bowed. He again recited and again bowed and again recited and again bowed, and then prostrated; and the second (rak'ah) was like this

وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى، وابو بكر بن خلاد كلاهما عن يحيى القطان، - قال ابن المثنى حدثنا يحيى، - عن سفيان، قال حدثنا حبيب، عن طاوس، عن ابن عباس، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم انه صلى في كسوف قرا ثم ركع ثم قرا ثم ركع ثم قرا ثم ركع ثم قرا ثم ركع ثم سجد . قال والاخرى مثلها

Amr b. al-'As reported:When the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), they (the people) were called to congregational prayers. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed two ruku's in one rak'ah. He then stood and observed two ruku's in (the second) rak'ah. The sun then became bright, and 'A'isha said; Never did I observe, ruku' and prostration longer than this (ruku' and prostration)

حدثني محمد بن رافع، حدثنا ابو النضر، حدثنا ابو معاوية، - وهو شيبان النحوي - عن يحيى، عن ابي سلمة، عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص، ح . وحدثنا عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن الدارمي، اخبرنا يحيى بن حسان، حدثنا معاوية، بن سلام عن يحيى بن ابي كثير، قال اخبرني ابو سلمة بن عبد الرحمن، عن خبر عبد، الله بن عمرو بن العاص انه قال لما انكسفت الشمس على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نودي ب { الصلاة جامعة } فركع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ركعتين في سجدة ثم قام فركع ركعتين في سجدة ثم جلي عن الشمس فقالت عايشة ما ركعت ركوعا قط ولا سجدت سجودا قط كان اطول منه
