أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ أنبأ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورُ بْنُ صَفِيَّةَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ فَزِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَأَخَذَ دِرْعًا حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ بِرِدَائِهِ فَقَامَ بِالنَّاسِ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا يَقُومُ ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ فَلَوْ جَاءَ إِنْسَانٌ بَعْدَمَا رَكَعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَكَعَ شَيْئًا مَا حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ أَنَّهُ رَكَعَ مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ قَالَتْ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي هِيَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي وَإِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي هِيَ أَسْقَمُ مِنِّي قَائِمَةً فَأَقُولُ أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ أَصْبِرَ عَلَى طُولِ الْقِيَامِ مِنْكِ
English Translation
Abu Salih ibn Abi Tahir al-Anbari narrated to us... from Asma' bint Abi Bakr who said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) was alarmed on the day the sun eclipsed. He took a coat of armor, thinking it was his cloak. He stood with the people for a long standing - he would stand then bow, and if someone came after he bowed, he would not think he had bowed at all due to the length of the standing. She said: I would look at a woman older than me and a woman sicker than me, both standing, and I would say to myself: I am more deserving of enduring this long standing than you.
