Solar Eclipse - What should be done?

Praise be to Allah
Firstly:
al-Bukhaari (1041) and Muslim (911) narrated that Abu Mas‘ood al-Ansaari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah by means of which Allah creates fear in His slaves. They do not become eclipsed for the death of any person. If you see anything happen to them, then pray and call upon Allah until you are relieved of that.”
Al-Bukhaari (1059) and Muslim (912) narrated that Abu Moosa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The sun was eclipsed, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) got up in a state of anxiety, thinking that it was the Hour. He came to the mosque and began to pray, standing, bowing and prostrating for the longest time I ever saw him do, and he said: “These signs that are sent do not occur for the death or birth of anyone, rather Allah sends them to create fear in His slaves. If you see any of them, then hasten to remember Him, call upon Him and ask Him for forgiveness.”

Secondly:
The way in which the eclipse prayer is performed is as follows:

The worshipper recites the opening takbeer (takbeerat al-ihram) and the opening supplication (du‘aa’ al-istiftaah), then he seeks refuge with Allah.
Then he recites al-Faatihah, followed by a lengthy recitation.

Then he bows, making it lengthy.

Then he rises from bowing and says: Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka al-hamd (Allah hears those who call upon him; our Lord, to You be praise).

Then he recites al-Faatihah again, followed by another lengthy recitation but it is not as long as the first recitation.
Then he bows again, making it lengthy but not as long as the first time.
Then he rises from bowing and says: Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka al-hamd (Allah hears those who call upon him; our Lord, to You be praise), and stands for a long time.

Then he prostrates twice, making each prostration lengthy, and sits for a long time between the two prostrations.
Then he gets up for the second rak‘ah, and does the same as he did in the first rak‘ah, bowing twice and so on, but each action is not as long as in the first. Then he recites the tashahhud and the tasleem.

See al-Mughni by Ibn Qudaamah (3/323); al-Majmoo‘ by an-Nawawi (5/48).

This is indicated by the hadith of ‘Aa’ishah. Al-Bukhaari (1046) and Muslim (2129) narrated that ‘Aa’ishah, the wife of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) went out to the mosque and stood and said takbeer, and the people formed rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) recited for a long time, then he said takbeer and bowed for a long time. Then he said, “Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him).”

Then he stood and did not prostrate, and recited for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time.

Then he said takbeer and bowed for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time.

Then he said, “Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka al-hamd (Allah hears those who call upon him; our Lord, to You be praise).”

Then he prostrated. Then he did likewise in the second rak’ah.

Thus he did four bowings and four prostrations.

And Allah knows best.

At the first sign of Solar Eclipse, our prophet Muhammad PBUH was afraid that the day of judgement has come. " Wo Ghabrah gayee thay solar eclipse say, he thought that Qayamat aah rahee hay. ". see the hadees Sahih al-Bukhari 1059.

Even the most traditionalist proper Mufti or a student of hadith sciences will never ever claim that Sahih Bhukari is 100% authentic as Dr Zakir Naik has just claimed. And as the case presented by Mufti Abu Layth all the copies of Sahih Bhukari we have today are not Sahih Bhkari but actually Sahih Frabri because they all go back to only one man Muhammad Ibn Yusuf Al Frabri and none of his contemporaries ever vouched for him, which in hadith sciences make him Al Majhul which then technically makes the entire collection of Sahih Hadith dhaeef.

With all due respect Dr Zakir Naik should stick to what his field of expertise is, which is comparative religion and dawah to non muslims in which he has achieved a lot and may Allah reward him for his efforts and that he continues in this field for a long time to come.

Yasir Qadhi occasionally keeps getting his foot stuck in his mouth and then has to go into damage control mode to keep his followers. The latest blunder being that he said believing Yajuj Majuj would be zombies is actually a much better and more believable explanation than provided by many else, and ever since he has been fire fighting that.

Earlier in this career he shed his cloak of moderatism and went full wahabi, and then when he got severely chastised for it did a complete 180 and become the "voice of moderate Islam"

And even now it feels like he actually doesn't believe in most of what he says but its too late for him to return now because of going salafi so now he just plays to the gallery to keep his followers or that's what it feels like.

No I never had any extremist wahabis salafi views even though I was brought up and live in the GCC less than 4 hours drive from the Saudi border. And we are just ordinary people, he claims to be a scholar and aalim, there is a difference between normal people and supposed community leaders.

Right now he is just playing for the peanut gallery because he doesn't want to lose his followers but every now and then his real self creeps through and then all hell breaks loose!

It doesn’t have to be extreme wahabi views but your views about someone who changed and moved on after admitting are very extreme. Or you only view extreme related to wahabism?

The thing is Yasir Qadhi does this on the regular i.e his real self creeps through his public persona every now and then.

How is this an "extreme attitude"?

Because you are very clear about wahabi extremism but still not seeing your extreme sense...but I guess Madhab comes into play for such ideas and Alhumdulillah, I’m beyond that point and that’s the reason I like YQ...
