Narrated Aisha May Allah be pleased with her : There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet stood for a long time; accompanied by the people. He then bowed; then raised his head; then he bowed and then he raised his head; and again he bowed and prayed two rakahs of prayer. In each rakah he bowed three times. After bowing for the third time he prostrated himself. He stood for such a long time that some people became unconscious on that occasion and buckets of water had to be poured on them. When he bowed; he said; Allah is most great; and when he raised his head; he said; Allah listens to him who praises Him; till the sun became bright. then he said: The sun and the moon are not eclipsed on account of anyone death or on account of anyone birth; but they are two of Allah signs; He produces dread in His servants by means of them. When they are eclipsed; hasten to prayer
