The Prayer for Eclipses, Earthquakes, Winds, and Oppression and Their Causes
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ اَلْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّهُمَا قَالاَ: قُلْنَا لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ يَقْضِي صَلاَةَ اَلْكُسُوفِ مَنْ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ فَعَلِمَ وَ إِذَا أَمْسَى فَعَلِمَ قَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ اَلْقُرْصَانِ اِحْتَرَقَا كُلُّهُمَا قَضَيْتَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ إِنَّمَا اِحْتَرَقَ بَعْضُهُمَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ قَضَاؤُهُ.
It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim and al-Fudhayl ibn Yasar that they said: "We asked Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام: Should one make up the prayer for an eclipse if he becomes aware of it in the morning or evening after it has occurred? He عليه السلام replied: 'If both discs (the sun and the moon) were completely eclipsed, you must make it up. However, if only a part of either of them was eclipsed, then you are not required to make it up.'"
