Hadith 14
The Book of Prayer
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA):
There was an eclipse of the sun in the life-time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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].
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ : { اِنْخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ اَلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَصَلَّى, فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا, نَحْوًا مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ سُورَةِ اَلْبَقَرَةِ, ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا, ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ دُونَ اَلْقِيَامِ اَلْأَوَّلِ, ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا, وَهُوَ دُونَ اَلرُّكُوعِ اَلْأَوَّلِ, ] ثُمَّ سَجَدَ, ثُمَّ قَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً, وَهُوَ دُونَ اَلْقِيَامِ اَلْأَوَّلِ, ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا, وَهُوَ دُونَ اَلرُّكُوعِ اَلْأَوَّلِ], ثُمَّ رَفَعَ, فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا, وَهُوَ دُونَ اَلْقِيَامِ اَلْأَوَّلِ, ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلاً, وَهُوَ دُونَ اَلرُّكُوعِ اَلْأَوَّلِ, ثُمَّ سَجَدَ, ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ اَلشَّمْسُ. فَخَطَبَ اَلنَّاسَ [1] } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ, وَاللَّفْظُ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ [2] .
