Prayer During Solar Eclipse

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prayed on the day of a solar eclipse, bowing four times and prostrating four times in two rak'ahs.

It was narrated from Kathir bin Abbas, from Abdullah bin Abbas that: The Messenger of Allah prayed on the day the sun was eclipsed, bowing four times in two rak'ahs and prostrating four times.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنِ ابْنِ نَمِرٍ، - وَهُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ نَمِرٍ - عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى يَوْمَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ
