عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ:« إِنْ صَلَّيْتَ اَلْكُسُوفَ إِلَى أَنْ يَذْهَبَ اَلْكُسُوفُ عَنِ اَلشَّمْسِ وَاَلْقَمَرِ وَتُطَوِّلُ فِي صَلاَتِكَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ وَ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فَتَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلاَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ اَلْكُسُوفُ فَهُوَ جَائِزٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ اَلْكُسُوفُ ثُمَّ عَلِمْتَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ صَلاَةُ اَلْكُسُوفِ وَ إِنْ أَعْلَمَكَ أَحَدٌ وَ أَنْتَ نَائِمٌ فَعَلِمْتَ ثُمَّ غَلَبَتْكَ عَيْنُكَ فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ فَعَلَيْكَ قَضَاؤُهَا»
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.”
