There is nothing specific regarding the recitation after Al-Fatiha in the solar eclipse prayer; rather, the worshiper recites what is easy for him from the Qur'an. However, it is recommended to prolong the recitation and the prayer according to the duration of the eclipse, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) did. He prolonged the recitation in the solar eclipse prayer so much that the first standing () was approximately as long as Surat Al-Baqarah. This is to indicate the permissibility of prolonging the standing by reciting a long in the solar eclipse prayer, and it is preferable to choose the longest Surahs.
