Chapter on the Prayer of the Eclipse

حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالاَ: قُلْنَا لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ هَذِهِ اَلرِّيَاحُ وَ اَلظُّلَمُ اَلَّتِي تَكُونُ هَلْ يُصَلَّى لَهَا فَقَالَ« كُلُّ أَخَاوِيفِ اَلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ ظُلْمَةٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ أَوْ فَزَعٍ فَصَلِّ لَهُ صَلاَةَ اَلْكُسُوفِ حَتَّى يَسْكُنَ»
Hammad, from Hariz, from Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: We said to Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “These winds and darkness that occur (eclipse), is prayer to be performed for them?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Every fearful occurrence in the sky whether darkness, wind, or terror, perform for it the prayer of ‘al-Kusuf’ (prayer of eclipse) until it subsides.”
