\nNarrated `Amra bint `Abdur-Rahman:\n \n\nA Jewess came to `Aisha to ask her about something and then she said, "May Allah give you refuge \nfrom the punishment of the grave." So `Aisha asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "Would the people be punished \nin their graves?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Allah's refuge from the punishment of the grave (indicating an \naffirmative reply). Then one day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode (to leave for some place) but the sun eclipsed. \nHe returned on the forenoon and passed through the rear of the dwellings (of his wives) and stood up \nand started offering the (eclipse) prayer and the people stood behind him. He stood for a long period \nand then performed a long bowing and then stood straight for a long period which was shorter than \nthat of the first standing, then he performed a prolonged bowing which was shorter than the first \nbowing, then he raised his head and prostrated for a long time and then stood up (for the second rak`a) \nfor a long while, but the standing was shorter than the standing of the first rak`a. Then he performed a \nprolonged bowing which was shorter than that of the first one. He then stood up for a long time but \nshorter than the first, then again performed a long bowing which was shorter than the first and then \nprostrated for a shorter while than that of the first prostration. Then he finished the prayer and \ndelivered the sermon and) said what Allah wished; and ordered the people to seek refuge with Allah \nfrom the punishment of the grave.\n
