حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالنَّاسِ فَأَطَالَ الْقِرَاءَةَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَطَالَ الْقِرَاءَةَ وَهِيَ دُونَ الأُولَى ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ ‏

Aishah narrated:

"The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah, so the Messenger of Allah led the people in prayer. He recited a lengthy recitation, then he bowed a lengthy bowing, then he raised his head and recited a lengthy recitation that was less than the first. Then he bowed a lengthy bowing that was less than the first. Then he raised his head and prostrated. Then he did (similar to) that in the second Rak'ah."

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 561).

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَسَجَدَ ) وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ : ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سُجُودًا طَوِيلًا , وَوَقَعَ عِنْدَ مُسْلِمٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ بِلَفْظِ : ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ , فَفِيهِ تَطْوِيلُ الرَّفْعِ الَّذِي يَتَعَقَّبُهُ السُّجُودُ , وَلَكِنْ قَالَ النَّوَوِيُّ هِيَ رِوَايَةٌ شَاذَّةٌ مُخَالِفَةٌ فَلَا يُعْمَلُ بِهَا , أَوْ الْمُرَادُ زِيَادَةُ الطُّمَأْنِينَةِ فِي الِاعْتِدَالِ لَا إِطَالَتُهُ نَحْوَ الرُّكُوعِ. قَالَ الْحَافِظُ فِي الْفَتْحِ مَا لَفْظُهُ : وَتُعُقِّبَ بِمَا رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ وَغَيْرُهُمَا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَيْضًا فَفِيهِ : ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ حَتَّى قِيلَ لَا يَرْفَعُ , ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَط…
