حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ عِبَادٍ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي الْكُسُوفِ فَلاَ نَسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتًا .

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 1264
This short Hadith focuses on one clear detail from the eclipse prayer. Samurah bin Jundab said that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم led them in the eclipse prayer, and they did not hear his voice. The narration does not add extra explanation or describe the full prayer method. Its main value is the reported practice during that prayer: the people were led in Salah, but the recitation was not heard by them. For searches like silent eclipse prayer, eclipse prayer recitation, and Salatul Kusuf hadith, this narration should be explained carefully without adding details that are not in the text.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم led the companions in the eclipse prayer.
- Samurah reports that they did not hear his voice during that prayer.
- A short Hadith can preserve one specific practice clearly.
- Explanations should stay within the detail given in the narration.
