Sahih al-Bukhari 3203

Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:On the day of a solar eclipse, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up (to offer the eclipse prayer). He recited Takbir, recited a long recitation (of Holy Verses), bowed a long bowing, and then he raised his head saying, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him." Then he stayed standing, recited a long recitation again, but shorter than the former, bowed a long bowing, but shorter than the first, performed a long prostration and then performed the second rak`a in the same way as he had done the first. By the time he had finished his prayer with Taslim, the solar eclipse had been over. Then he addressed the people referring to the solar and lunar eclipses saying, "These are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse because of anyone's death or life. So, if you see them, hasten for the Prayer

Ayesha bataati hain: Suraj grahan ke din, Allah ke Rasool khade hue (grahan ki namaz padhne ke liye). Unhone Takbir kahi, ek lamba paath (paak Ayaton ka) padha, ek lamba ruku kiya, phir apna sar uthaya aur kaha, "Allah use sunta hai jo uski taarif karta hai." Phir woh khade rahe, phir se ek lamba paath padha, magar pahle se chhota, ek lamba ruku kiya, magar pahle se chhota, ek lamba sajda kiya, aur phir dusri rakat pahli jaisa hi ki. Jab tak unhone Taslim ke saath apni namaz khatam ki, suraj grahan khatam ho chuka tha. Phir unhone suraj aur chaand grahan ke baare mein logon ko sambodhit kiya, "Yeh Allah ki Nishaaniyon mein se do Nishaaniyaan hain, aur woh kisi ki maut ya zindagi ki wajah se grahan nahi hote. Isliye agar tum unhe dekho, namaz ke liye jaldi karo."
