Sunan an-Nasa'i 1470

Translation

"I heard Ubaid bin Umair say: 'Someone whom I trust'- and I think he meant Aishah- told me: There was an eclipse of the sun during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He led the people in prayer and stood for a very long time, then he bowed, then he stood, then he bowed, then he stood, then he bowed. He prayed two rak'ahs, bowing three times in each rak'ah. After bowing for the third time he prostrated for a long time. Some men fainted on that day and had to be revived by having buckets of water thrown over them, because of having stood for so log. When he bowed, he said: Allahu Akbar, and when he raised his head, he said: Sami' Allahu lima hamidah.He did not finish until the eclipse had ended. Then he stood and praised and glorified Allah (SWT) and said: The sun and moon do not eclipse for the death or birth of anyone, but they are two of the signs of Allah (SWT) with which He strikes fear unto you. If they are eclipsed then turn to the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, until it (the eclipse) is over.'"

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

• Qurṭubī

  غيره من الروايات التي خالفته معلولة ضعيفة يعني من قال أن صلاة كسوف الشمس ركعتان في كل ركعة ركوعان هو الصحيح ومن خالفه معلول

  machine translationThe other narrations that contradict it are defective (maʿlūl) and weak (ḍaʿīf). That is, whoever said that the eclipse prayer for the sun is two rakʿahs, with two bowings (rukūʿ) in each rakʿah, has the sound (ṣaḥīḥ) report, and whoever contradicts it is defective (maʿlūl).
