English Translation

Aishah narrated: "The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). He stood and made a very long standing, then bowed a long bowing, then stood again for a long standing but shorter than the first, then bowed again, shorter than the first. Then he prostrated a long prostration. He did the same in the second rak'ah. Then he addressed the people and said: 'The sun and moon are two of Allah's signs. They are not eclipsed because of anyone's death or birth. When you see that, pray and supplicate until the eclipse clears.'"
