Sunan an-Nasai 1465 (Book 16, Hadith 7) #16076
Praying During an Eclipse

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) led a congregation in prayer during an eclipse.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah , and the Prophet commanded a caller to call out that prayer was about to begin in congregation. So they gathered and formed rows, and he led them in prayer, bowing four times in two rak'ahs and prostrating four times".
أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي أَنَّ الصَّلاَةَ جَامِعَةً فَاجْتَمَعُوا وَاصْطَفُّوا فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ

This hadith teaches us that when something extraordinary happens like an eclipse, it is important to remember Allah by praying together as a community. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to come together as one community when faced with something special or difficult.
