Chapter on the Prayer of the Eclipse

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اَلْكُسُوفِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغِيبَ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ نَخْشَى فَوْتَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ فَقَالَ« اِقْطَعُوهَا وَ صَلُّوا اَلْفَرِيضَةَ وَ عُودُوا إِلَى صَلاَتِكُمْ»
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.”
