The Prayer During a Solar Eclipse



527. Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah radiyallahu anhu: narrated, ‘The sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa on the day when (his son) Ibrahim died. So, the people said that the sun had eclipsed because of the death of Ibrahim. Allah’s Messenger Sallalahu aleihi wa said, ‘The sun and the moon are two miracles created by Allah. They do not eclipse for the death or life (i.e. birth) of anyone. Should you witness an eclipse of the sun or the moon, pray and invoke Allah until it is over.’ Agree upon. In the narration of Al-Bukhari, ‘Until the eclipse is clear.’

He made a lengthy standing, similar to (the time that it takes to) recite Surah al-Baqarah (Surah no. 2). Then he made a long ruku’, after which he stood and made another long recital, but for a shorter time than the first one. Following this, he prostrated (twice). Next, he made another long standing with a long recital, but not as long as the first one. After that, he made another lengthy ruku’ but it was not as long as the first one. Then he made another lengthy ruku’ but it was not as long as he first one. After which he made another long recital but I was not as long as the first one. Again, he made another lengthy ruku’ but it was shorter than the previous one. Following this, he went into sujud (prostration, twice). By the time he finished, the sun had appeared, and he started to address the people.’ Agreed upon, and the wording is from Al-Bukhari.
