The Prayer for Eclipses, Earthquakes, Winds, and Oppression and Their Causes
وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالاَ: قُلْنَا لَهُ أَ رَأَيْتَ هَذِهِ اَلرِّيَاحَ وَ اَلظُّلَمَ اَلَّتِي تَكُونُ هَلْ يُصَلَّى بِهَا قَالَ «كُلُّ أَخَاوِيفِ اَلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ ظُلْمَةٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ أَوْ فَزَعٍ فَصَلِّ لَهَا صَلاَةَ اَلْكُسُوفِ حَتَّى تَسْكُنَ.
Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim reported from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that they asked him, "What do you say about these winds and darkness that occur? Should one pray because of them?" Imam عليه السلام said: "For every fear-inducing phenomenon from the sky, be it darkness, wind, or dread, pray the prayer of the eclipse (Salat al-Kusuf) until it subsides."
