Remembrance 1 from Chapter 134
The adhkār prescribed for eclipses
Sami‘a-llāhu li-man ḥamidah, Rabbanā laka-l-ḥamd.
Our [Shāfi‘ī] colleagues say that the sitting between the two sujūds should not be lengthened but should be the same as in other ṣalāt. What they say has some questions related to it. It has been established by a saḥīḥ hadith that it should be lengthened. I have discussed this in more detail in Sharḥ al-Muhadhdhab. Hence the preference is to lengthen the sujūd. The coming to rest in standing up from the second rukū‘ should not be lengthened, nor should the tashahhud or the time spent sitting to recite it. And Allah knows best. If one leaves out all this lengthening and confines himself to al-Fātiḥah, his ṣalāh will still be valid. It is mustaḥabb to say, upon rising up from rukū‘: Allah has heard the one who praised Him. Our Lord, to You belongs all praise. We have cited this from the Ṣaḥīḥ.
