Pray during an eclipse as if it were an obligatory prayer

This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's reaction to a solar eclipse. He was in Medina at the time, and he came out of his house bewildered, pulling his garment. He then prayed two rak'ahs and stood for a long time in them before departing when the sun became bright again. The Prophet then said that these signs are what Allah uses to produce dread in His servants, so when one sees something like this they should pray as if it were an obligatory prayer. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of Allah's signs and take them seriously by praying whenever we see something like this happen. It also teaches us that we should be humble before God and recognize His power over all things, even natural phenomena such as eclipses.
