Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ كُسِفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي يَوْمٍ شَدِيدِ الْحَرِّ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَصْحَابِهِ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ حَتَّى جَعَلُوا يَخِرُّونَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَنَعَ نَحْوًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَكَانَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ ‏.‏

Muʾammal ibn Hisham narrated to us: Ismaʿil narrated to us, from Hisham. Abu al-Zubayr narrated to us, from Jabir, who said: The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), on an intensely hot day. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led his Companions in prayer and prolonged the standing until the people began to collapse. He bowed and prolonged it; then he raised his head and prolonged the standing. He bowed and prolonged it again; then he raised his head and prolonged the standing again. Then he made two prostrations. He stood and did something similar; thus there were four bowings and four prostrations. The narrator continued the rest of the report.
