Ali has narrated from his father and Mohammed ibn ‘lsma’il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah from Mohammed ibn Muslim who has said the following: ‘We once asked Abu Ja’far -asws about Salat because of eclipse. How many Rak’at has it and how we perform it? The Imam -asws said: ‘It has ten Ruku’ and four Sajadat.
Salat commences with Takbir, Ruku’ is performed with Takbir and you raise your head with Takbir, except the fifth Takbir, after which you perform Sajdah and say Allah -azwj Hears those who praise Him -azwj . Say Qunut in every two Rak’at before Ruku’ and prolong Qunut and Ruku’ equal to the time for recitation, Ruku’ and Sajdah. If you finish before it (sun or moon) is cleared, sit down and pray before Allah -azwj until it is cleared. ‘If it clears before you finish Salat, complete the remaining.
