that `Abdur-Rahman bin Namir had informed him that he had

heard the same. Ibn Shihab heard the same. Az-Zuhri said, "I

asked ('Ursa), 'What did your brother `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair

do? He prayed two rak`at (of the eclipse prayer) like the

morning prayer, when he offered the (eclipse) prayer in

Median.' 'Ursa replied that he had missed (i.e. did not pray

according to) the Prophet's tradition." Sulaiman bin Kathir

and Sufyan bin Husain narrated from Az-Zuhri that the prayer

for the eclipse used to be offered with loud recitation.

Suratan-Najm (103) at Mecca and prostrated while reciting it

and those who were with him did the same except an old man who
