Sahih al-Bukhari 1046

Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to us; he said: Al-Layth narrated to me, from ‘Uqayl, from Ibn Shihab. [A second chain:] Ahmad ibn Salih narrated to me; he said: ‘Anbasah narrated to us; he said: Yunus narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, who said: ‘Urwah narrated to me, from ‘A’ishah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: The sun was eclipsed during the Prophet’s lifetime, so he went out to the mosque and the people formed rows behind him. He said the takbir, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited a long recitation. Then he said the takbir and bowed for a long bowing. Then he said: ‘Allah hears whoever praises Him.’ He stood without prostrating and recited a long recitation, shorter than the first recitation. Then he said the takbir and bowed for a long bowing, shorter than the first bowing. Then he said: ‘Allah hears whoever praises Him; our Lord, to You is praise.’ Then he prostrated. Then he did the same in the second unit, completing four bowings in four prostrations. The sun cleared before he finished. Then he stood and extolled Allah as He is worthy, then said: ‘They are two signs of Allah. They do not eclipse because of anyone’s death or life. When you see them, hasten to prayer.’ Kathir ibn ‘Abbas used to relate that ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) would relate, on the day the sun was eclipsed, a report like the report of ‘Urwah from ‘A’ishah. I said to ‘Urwah: ‘Your brother, on the day the sun was eclipsed in Madinah, did no more than two units like the morning prayer.’ He said: ‘Yes, because he missed the Sunnah.’
