Sunan an-Nasai 1480 (Book 16, Hadith 22) #16091
Praying During an Eclipse

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed for a long time during an eclipse.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: "The sun was eclipsed and the Messenger of Allah bowed twice and prostrated twice, then he stood up and bowed twice and prostrated twice. Then the eclipse ended'.Aishah used to say: "The Messenger of Allah never prostrated or bowed for so long as that'."
أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ حِمْيَرٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سَلاَّمٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي طُعْمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَرَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جُلِّيَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ ‏.‏ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ مَا سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ سُجُودًا وَلاَ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا أَطْوَلَ مِنْهُ ‏.‏ خَالَفَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) prayer during an eclipse. An eclipse is when the sun or moon is blocked by the Earth or another planet, and it can be seen from Earth. In this hadith, it was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said that when there was an eclipse, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) bowed twice and prostrated twice, then he stood up and bowed twice and prostrated again. His wife Aishah said that he never prayed for so long as he did during this eclipse. This shows us how important prayer is to Muslims, especially in times of difficulty or distress such as eclipses. It also teaches us to be humble before God in all situations and to take time out of our day to pray regularly.
