Is there in the hadith of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah (I was throwing arrows of mine during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the sun was eclipsed, so I threw them away and said, "By Allah, I will look at what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) does regarding the solar eclipse. He said, "So I came to him and he was standing in prayer with his hands raised") evidence for qunut in the eclipse prayer, and who said that, and is it before the bowing or after it?

The Shaykh : Anyone else?
The questioner: Our Shaykh, may Allah bless you, it is mentioned in "Sahih Muslim" from the hadith of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah who said: "I was throwing arrows of mine during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the sun was eclipsed and I threw them away, and I said: 'By Allah, I will look at what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) does regarding the solar eclipse.' He said: 'So I came to him and he was standing in prayer with his hands raised'" to the end of the hadith. Shaykh, the question is: Is there in this hadith evidence for qunut in the eclipse prayer? And if so, who among the scholars said that? And is it before the bowing or after the bowing?
The Shaykh: As for saying that this is the supplication of qunut! The answer is: No. As for saying that it is for general supplication, that is what appears. This is exactly similar to what is in "Sahih al-Bukhari" that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) in his illness of death, when he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 682, and Abu Bakr was actually leading the people in prayer due to his illness (peace be upon him), then on a day: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt some vitality in his body, and he went out to the mosque, and Abu Bakr delayed to advance the 'Asr prayer and delay the deputy, so Abu Bakr raised his hands: as if he was supplicating to Allah and praising Him for having healed his Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and enabled him to go out to lead the people in prayer," so this kind of raising has a basis, and this hadith is a hadith of Muslim, so it is also possible to cite evidence for this kind of raising for an incidental matter, and it is not linked to the issue of qunut, and consequently the question does not arise, is it before the bowing or after the bowing! This is my answer, and Allah knows best.

Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer.
مُرُوا أبا بكر فليصلِّ بالناس
