Chapter on the Prayer of the Eclipse

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Barqi, from Abu al-Bakhtari, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “Indeed, Imam Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, prayed during the solar eclipse; two rak‘ahs with four prostrations and four bowings. He عليه السلام stood and recited, then bowed, then raised his head and recited again, then bowed, then stood and supplicated (like in his first rak‘ah), then prostrated twice. Then He عليه السلام stood and did the same as he did in the first rak‘ah in his recitation, standing, bowing, and prostration all of it equally.”
