Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Al-Abbas ibn Ma’ruf, from Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Abdillah ibn Amr, from Hammad ibn Uthman, from Jamil, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said:
I asked Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the earthquake (al-zalzalah). Imam عليه السلام said: “My father عليه السلام informed me from his father عليه السلام, from his forefathers عليه السلام, peace be upon them, who said that the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, said: ‘Indeed, when Dhul-Qarnayn reached the barrier, he passed beyond it and entered into the darkness. There he came upon an angel standing, whose height was five hundred cubits. The angel said to him: “O Dhul-Qarnayn, was there no path behind you?” Dhul-Qarnayn said to him: “And who are you?” He (the angel) replied: “I am an angel from the angels of the All-Merciful, appointed over this mountain. There is no mountain that Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, has created except that it has a root connected to this mountain. So when Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, wills to shake a city, He عز وجل reveals to me, and I shake it.”

From him, from Ali ibn al-Sindi, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from Jamil, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “The prayer of ‘al-Kusuf’ (prayer of eclipse) is an obligation (fardh).”

From him, from Ali ibn Khalid, from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Amr ibn Sa'id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “If you pray the eclipse prayer (al-kusuf) until the eclipse of the sun or the moon passes, and you prolong your prayer, then that is better. But if you wish to pray and finish your prayer before the eclipse ends, that is permissible. And if you did not know until the eclipse ended, then you came to know after that, there is no eclipse prayer (due upon you). And if someone informed you while you were asleep, and you became aware, then sleep overcame you and you did not pray, then you must make it up.”

From him, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Al-Hajjaj, from Hammad ibn Uthman, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
We mentioned the eclipse of the moon and what the people suffer from its intensity. So Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “If any part of it becomes uncovered, then it has become uncovered.” (meaning the eclipse is considered ‘finished’ when a part of it gets ‘uncovered’)

From him, from a group of our companions, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamid, from Ali ibn al-Fadl al-Wasiti, who said:
I wrote to Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him, (asking) “If the sun or the moon is eclipsed while I am riding, and I am unable to dismount?” So Imam عليه السلام wrote back to me: “Pray on your mount which you are on.”

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Barqi, from Abu al-Bakhtari, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “Indeed, Imam Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, prayed during the solar eclipse; two rak‘ahs with four prostrations and four bowings. He عليه السلام stood and recited, then bowed, then raised his head and recited again, then bowed, then stood and supplicated (like in his first rak‘ah), then prostrated twice. Then He عليه السلام stood and did the same as he did in the first rak‘ah in his recitation, standing, bowing, and prostration all of it equally.”

From him, from Bunan ibn Muhammad, from Al-Muhassin ibn Ahmad, from Yunus ibn Ya'qub, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “The moon was eclipsed, so my father (Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام) went out, and I went out with him to the ‘Sacred Mosque’, And He عليه السلام prayed eight rak‘ahs, like how one prays with a rak‘ah and two prostrations.”

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Ali ibn Ya'qub al-Hashimi, from Marwan ibn Muslim, from Ibn Abi Ya'fur, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “If the sun or the moon is eclipsed, and the entire body is eclipsed, then it is proper for the people to hasten to an imam (of prayer) so that he may pray with them. And if either of them is partially eclipsed, then it suffices for a man to pray alone. And the prayer of ‘al-Kusuf’ (prayer of eclipse) is ten rak‘ahs and four prostrations. The eclipse of the sun is more severe upon the people and the animals.”

From him, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Kufi, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Ghalib ibn Uthman, from Rawh ibn Abd al-Rahim, who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about the eclipse prayer, whether it is prayed in congregation. Imam عليه السلام said: “In congregation and not in congregation.” (meaning whichever that you wish)

From him, from Ahmad, from Musa ibn al-Qasim and Abu Qatadah, from Ali ibn Ja’far, from his brother Imam Musa ibn Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, who said:
I asked Imam al-Kadhim عليه السلام about the eclipse prayer, and whether one who misses it must make it up. Imam عليه السلام said: “If you missed it, then there is no make-up (qadah) upon you.”
- Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām fī Sharḥ al-Muqniʿah, vol. 3, p. 323
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Tahdhīb
قال محمد بن الحسن قد بينا الوجه في أمثال هذين الخبرين وجملته انه إذا احترق القرص كله يجب القضاء على من فاتته صلاة الكسوف وان لم يحترق كله وفاتته لم يكن عليه قضاء ولا تنافي بين الاخبار ولا ينافي هذا ما رواه عمار الساباطي في الخبر الذي قدمناه من قوله انه انما يلزم القضاء على من اعلم فلم يصل حتى فاتته لان الوجه في هذه الرواية أن تحملها على انه إذا احترق بعض القرص وتوانى عن الصلاة فحينئذ لزمه قضاؤها ونحن انما اسقطنا القضاء عمن لم يعلم باحتراق بعض القرص أصلا وعلى هذا تلائمت الاخبار ولم تختلف
Muhammad ibn al-Hasan said: “We have already clarified the explanation regarding reports of this kind, and in summary; if the entire disc (of the sun or moon) is eclipsed, then making up the eclipse prayer (qadah) is obligatory upon the one who missed it. But if the entire disc is not eclipsed and one misses the prayer, then there is no obligation to make it up. There is no contradiction among the reports. Nor does this contradict what was narrated by Ammar al-Sabati in the report we previously mentioned, in which he said that making up the prayer becomes necessary for one who was informed (of the eclipse) and still did not pray until the eclipse passed. The interpretation of that narration is that it applies when part of the disc is eclipsed and a person deliberately delayed the prayer then, in that case, he must make it up. We have only waived the obligation of making it up for the one, who was entirely unaware of the partial eclipse. Based on this, the reports are consistent and not contradictory.”

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Ja’far ibn Muhammad, from Abdillah ibn Maymun al-Qaddah, from Imam Ja’far عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام, from his forefathers, peace be upon them, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, so He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم led the people in two rak‘ahs, and He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم prolonged (the prayer) until some of the people behind him lost consciousness, due to the length of the standing.”

Ahmad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “The time for the eclipse prayer is at the hour when the eclipse occurs, at sunrise and at sunset. He (narrator) said: “And Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: ‘It is an obligation (faridah)’.”

Al-Husayn ibn Saeed from al-Nadr from Asim from Abu Basir who said:
The moon was eclipsed while I (Abu Basir) was with Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, in the Month of Ramadan. So Imam عليه السلام leapt up and said: “It used to be said: ‘When the moon and the sun are eclipsed, then hasten to your mosques’.”

Al-Husayn ibn Saeed from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Abu Ayyub Ibrahim ibn Uthman from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the eclipse prayer before the sun sets, and we fear missing the obligatory prayer. So Imam عليه السلام said: “Cut it off, perform the obligatory prayer, and then return to your eclipse prayer.”

From him, from Safwan, from Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sabati, from Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:

Ahmad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah from Abu Basir who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about the eclipse prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: “Ten rak‘ahs and four prostrations. In each rak‘ah you recite like Surah ‘Yasin’ and Surah ‘al-Nur’, and your bowing (rukuh) should be like your recitation, and your prostration (sujud) like your bowing.” I asked: “What about someone, who does not know Surah ‘Yasin’ and similar (surahs)?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Then let him recite sixty verses in each rak‘ah. When he raises his head from bowing, he should not recite Surah ‘al-Fatiha’.” Imam عليه السلام said: “If he forgets it or was asleep, then let him make it up (qadah).”

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ كَثْرَةَ اَلزَّلاَزِلِ فِي اَلْأَهْوَازِ وَ قُلْتُ تَرَى لِيَ اَلتَّحَوُّلَ عَنْهَا فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« لاَ تَتَحَوَّلُوا عَنْهَا وَ صُومُوا اَلْأَرْبِعَاءَ وَ اَلْخَمِيسَ وَ اَلْجُمُعَةَ وَ اِغْتَسِلُوا وَ طَهِّرُوا ثِيَابَكُمْ وَ اُبْرُزُوا يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ اُدْعُوا اَللَّهَ فَإِنَّهُ يَدْفَعُ عَنْكُمْ» قَالَ فَفَعَلْنَا فَسَكَنَتِ اَلزَّلاَزِلُ
Ali ibn Mahziyar narrated:
I wrote to Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, and complained to Imam عليه السلام about the frequent earthquakes in Ahwaz, and I asked: ‘Do you see that I should relocate from it (Ahwaz)?’ So Imam عليه السلام, peace be upon him, wrote: “Do not relocate from it. Fast on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and perform ghusl, purify your clothes, go out on Friday, and supplicate to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, for indeed He عز وجل will repel it from you.” He (Ali ibn Mahziyar) said: “So we did (as Imam عليه السلام said), and the earthquakes subsided.”

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ اَلْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنِ اِبْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« مَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ زَلْزَلَةٌ فَلْيَقْرَأْ يَا مَنْ« يُمْسِكُ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَاَلْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولاٰ وَ لَئِنْ زٰالَتٰا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمٰا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كٰانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً» صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَمْسِكْ عَنَّا اَلسُّوءَ« إِنَّكَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ»» قَالَ« إِنَّ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا عِنْدَ اَلنَّوْمِ لَمْ يَسْقُطْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْبَيْتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى»
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn Hammad al-Kufi from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Ubaydullah ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah from Ibn Yaqtin who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “Whoever is struck by an earthquake, let him recite: ‘O’ He who holds the heavens and the earth lest they cease to be, and if they were to cease, none could hold them after Him. Indeed, He is Forbearing, Forgiving” (Surah Fatir 35:41). Send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and withhold from us harm. Indeed, You are capable of all things (Surah Aal Imran 3:26).” Imam عليه السلام also said: “Indeed, whoever recites it at bedtime, the house will not collapse upon him, Allah عليه السلام willing.”
