Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem As Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatuh! Narrated 'Aisha (Radi'Allahu anhu): On the day of a solar eclipse, Allah's Apostle (Sall'Allahu alaihi wa sallam) stood up (to offer the eclipse prayer). He (Sall'Allahu alaihi wa sallam) 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." (Sahih Bukhari ~ Book #54, Hadith #425) Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shuba (Radi'Allahu anhu): Solar eclipse occurred on the day of Ibrahim's death (the son of Prophet Sall'Allahu alaihi wa sallam).
