🌑 The Prophet ﷺ said:

'When you see the eclipse, pray, make duʿā’, remember Allāh, and give charity until it clears.'

During an eclipse, it is authentically reported that one is encouraged to:

1. Remember Allah (dhikr)

2. Seek forgiveness (istighfār)

3. Pray (ṣalāh)

4. Free slaves (‘itāq)

5. Supplicate (du‘ā’)

6. Give charity (taṣaddaqū)

7. Declare Allah’s greatness (kabbirū)

8. Seek refuge (fa-sta‘īdhū) from the punishment of the grave.

Salāh Khusūf

Regarding the ṣalāh 🕌; according to the MAJORITY of scholars (excluding the Hanafi Math-hab - (see final note); it consists of two units (Rakʿahs) (each with 2 standings, 2 recitations, 2 bowings, and 2 prostrations), as follows:

The First Unit (Rakʿah):

1. Takbīr (Allāhu Akbar). Begin the ṣalāh as you do with every ṣalāh.

2. Recite al-Fātiḥah and a long sūrah thereafter.

3. Move into the bowing (rukūʿ) position and complete a prolonged rukūʿ.

4. Rise from the rukūʿ saying: "Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah", and then say: "Rabbanā laka al-ḥamd."

5. Then remain standing and Recite al-Fātiḥah + another long sūrah (albeit shorter than the first Surah recited).

6. Move into the bowing (rukūʿ) position again and complete a long rukūʿ (shorter than the first).

7. Rise from the rukūʿ saying: "Samiʿa Allāhu liman ḥamidah", and then say: "Rabbanā laka al-ḥamd."

8. Fall into prostration and complete two long sujūd with the normal sitting between the two prostrations.

The Second Rakʿah:

Complete the same steps as the first Rakʿahs, albeit with every action and recitation being shorter than the first, and then end the ṣalāh with the Tashahhud and Salām.

*Note:

According to the Hanafi Math-hab: The ṣalāh consists simply of two rakʿahs like any other prayer (without extra rukūʿs).
