6. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When a total sun eclipse takes place but you do not notice it and come to know about it later, you must perform Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) such Salah (prayer), but if it is not a total eclipse, you are not required to perform anything.’”

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Imran ibn Musa from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Majid from Ali ibn al-Fadl al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I once wrote to him (the Imam), Alayhi al-Salam, asking, ‘If a sun or moon eclipse takes place and I am riding and unable to dismount what must I do?’ He (the Imam) wrote to me, ‘Perform Salah (prayer) on your stumper which you ride.’”

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Yahya al-Halabiy from Harun ibn Kharijah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah once said to Ja‘far: ‘O Ja‘far, should I grant you and give an award to you or a gift?’ Ja‘far then said, ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah, please do so.’ The narrator has said that people thought the Messenger of Allah might give him gold or silver. People remained anticipating. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘I give you something and if you practice every day, it will be better for you than the whole world and all that it contains. If you practice it every two days, Allah forgives you during the time in between. For your practicing it every Friday or every month or every year, Allah grants you forgiveness during the time in between. Perform four Rak‘at Salah (prayer). Begin the Salah (prayer), complete the recitations and then say, “Allah is free of all defects, all praise belongs to Allah, no one, other than Allah, deserves worship and Allah is great” fifteen times. In Ruku‘ position, say it ten times. After Ruku‘ (bowing down on one’s knees)’, when standing, say it ten times. In the first sajdah say it ten times. When sitting between the two sajdah say it ten times. In the second sajdah say it ten times. After the second sajdah before standing up for the second Rak‘at say it ten times. This amounts to seventy-five Tasbihah, which makes it three hundred Tasbihah in one Rak‘at and in four Rak‘at Salah (prayer) it becomes one thousand two hundred Tasbihah, Tahlilah, Tahmidah and Takbirah. You may perform this Salah (prayer) during the day or night as you wish.’ “It is in a Hadith (narration) from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid that abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said the following. ‘In the first Rak‘at after the first Chapter of the Holy Quran recite Chapter 99. In the second Rak‘at you should recite Chapter 100, in the third Rak‘at recite Chapter 110 and in the fourth Rak‘at read Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran.’ I then asked, ‘What is the reward for this Salah (prayer)?’ The Imam replied, ‘If his sins are as many as grains of sand in a pile, Allah forgives him.’ He then looked at me and said, ‘This is for you and your people only.’”
