This is a summary of the Dar Qutni chapter that contains this account, not a 'hadith'

1762: Aisha(ra) said - Once Rasulullah (saw) commanded . . . . not direct quote 

1763: no narration back to Rasulullah (saw)
1764: Aisha (ra) narrates how Rasulullah (saw) conducted eclipse prayer - no direct quote
1765: Ahadith comparison according to various narrators
1766: Description of Eid prayer - no direct quote
1767: ibn Abbas narrating the instruction of Rasulullah (saw) - note he is ahl-e-bait and quotes the Nabi (saw).  Ahmadis say it is not necessary for ahl-e-bait to attribute to Nabi (saw)
1768: Aisha (ra) describing eclipse prayer of Rasulullah (saw) . . . not direct quote
1769: Direct quote from Prophet (saw) in inverted commas
1770: Direct quote from Prophet (saw) in inverted commas
1771: NO MENTION of Rasulullah: and 'our Mahdi' means the mahdi of Muhammad bin Ali - whose words are quoted.
1772: Direct quote from Prophet (saw).

1771 is the 'hadith' of the eclipses.  Can anyone imagine Rasulullah (saw) saying 'our Mahdi'.  And this chapter is about eclipses under the context of Eids.  That it will be an astronomical anomaly - against the laws of astronomy - and no such event has happened in the billions of years since the creation of the heavens and the earth.  This was the opinion of Imam Baqir - Muhammad bin Ali.

Now let us look at the words: 
inna - surely
li-mahdiyyina - for our Mahdi
aayatain - two signs
lam takoona - not occured
munz - since
khalaqa samawati wal ard - creation of the Heavens and the Earth
yankasiful qamaru - the moon will be eclipsed
li-awwali laila - on the first night 
min ramadan - from Ramadan
wa tankasifu shams - and it will eclipse the sun
fee nisf minh - in the middle of it
wa lam takoona - and these two have not happened 
munz - since
khalaqa samawati wal ard - creation of the Heavens and the Earth
