Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي أَنَّ الصَّلاَةَ جَامِعَةً فَاجْتَمَعُوا وَاصْطَفُّوا فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ ‏‏.‏‏

Translation

‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman ibn Sa‘id narrated to me; he said: Al-Walid narrated to us, from Al-Awza‘i, from Al-Zuhri, from ‘Urwah, from ‘A’ishah, who said: During the Messenger of Allah’s (peace and blessings be upon him) time, the sun was eclipsed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a caller to announce, “The prayer is to be held in congregation.” The people gathered and formed rows, and he led them in a prayer consisting of four bowings in two rak‘ahs and four prostrations.
