حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، نُودِيَ: إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةٌ، فَرَكَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ، ثُمَّ جُلِّيَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: مَا سَجَدْتُ سُجُودًا قَطُّ كَانَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا.
'Abdullâh bin 'Amr bin 'Âs Narrated from:
When the sun eclipsed in the lifetime of Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, an announcement was made that the Salât (prayer) was to be held in congregation. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم performed two bowings in one Rak'a. Then he stood up and performed two bowings in one Rak'a. Then he sat down and finished the Salât, and by then, the sun (eclipse) had cleared. 'Aisha رضي الله عنها said, "I had never performed such a long prostration." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 160, Vol. 2)
