Chapter on the Prayer of the Eclipse

عَنْهُ عَنْ بُنَانِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْمُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« اِنْكَسَفَ اَلْقَمَرُ فَخَرَجَ أَبِي وَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ إِلَى اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْحَرَامِ فَصَلَّى ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ كَمَا يُصَلِّي رَكْعَةً وَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»
From him, from Bunan ibn Muhammad, from Al-Muhassin ibn Ahmad, from Yunus ibn Ya'qub, who said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “The moon was eclipsed, so my father (Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام) went out, and I went out with him to the ‘Sacred Mosque’, And He عليه السلام prayed eight rak‘ahs, like how one prays with a rak‘ah and two prostrations.”
