(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), then the sun eclipsed. Nabi (Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) got up dragging his clothes until he entered the Musjid so
we also entered. Then Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) performed two
Rakaats of Salaat with us until the sun revealed itself. Then Nabi
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘Verily, the sun and moon do not eclipse

then perform Salaat and make Du’aa until the eclipse ends. (Bukhari pg.205;
Darus salaam)
