حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ، فَقَامَ فأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ، وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ فِي الأُولَى، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدِ انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آياتِ اللهِ، لَا يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذلِكَ فَادْعُوا اللهَ وَكَبِّرُوا وَصَلُّوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ يَزْنِىَ عَبْدُهُ أَوْ تَزْنِىَ أَمَتُهُ، يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَاللهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا.
In the lifetime of Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم the sun eclipsed, so he led the people in Salât (prayer), and stood up and performed a long Qiyâm, then bowed for a long while. He stood up again and performed a long Qiyâm, but this time the period of standing was shorter than the first. He bowed again for a long time, but shorter than the first one; then he prostrated and prolonged the prostration (twice). He did the same in the second Rak'a as he did in the first and then finished the Salât; by then the sun (eclipse) had cleared.Then he delivered Khutba (religious talk) and after praising and glorifying Allâh تعالى he said, "The sun and the moon are two signs from amongst the signs of Allâh; they do not eclipse because of the death or the life of anyone. So when you see the eclipse, remember Allâh and say Takbîr, pray and give Sadaqa."The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم then said, "O followers of Muhammad, by Allâh! There is none who has more Ghîra (self respect) than Allâh, so, He has forbidden that His slaves, male or female, commit illegal sexual intercourse. O followers of Muhammad! By Allâh! If you know that which I know, you would laugh little and weep much."( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 154, Vol. 2)
حديث عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَتْ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي حَيَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَصَفَّ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، فَكَبَّرَ، فَاقْتَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، ⦗١٧٧⦘ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، فَرَكَع رُكوعًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَقَامَ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ، وَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الأُولَى، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، وَهُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكوعِ الأَوَّلِ؛ ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الآخِرَةِ مِثْلَ ذلِكَ، فَاسْتَكْمَلَ أَرْبَعَ رَكْعَاتٍ فِي أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ، وَانْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ؛ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ.
In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ the sun eclipsed and he went to the mosque and the people aligned behind him. He said the Takbîr [starting the Salât (prayer)] and prolonged the recitation and then said Takbîr and performed a prolonged Rukû‘ (bowing); then he (lifted his head and) said, “ Sami‘ Allâhu liman hamidah ” (Allâh heard him who sent his praises to Him).He then did not prostrate but stood up and recited a prolonged recitation which was shorter than the first recitation. He again said Takbîr and then bowed a prolonged bowing, but shorter than the first one and then said, “ Sami‘ Allâhu liman hamidah, Rabbana walakal-hamd (Allâh heard him who sent his praises to Him, O our Sustainer! All the praises are for You)”, and he prostrated (twice) and did the same in the second Rak‘a; thus he completed four bowings and four prostrations.The sun (eclipse) had cleared before he finished the Salât. (After the Salât) he stood up, glorified and praised Allâh as He deserved and then said, “The sun and the moon are two signs from amongst the signs of Allâh تعالى. They do not eclipse because of the death or the life (i.e. birth) of someone. When you see them make haste for the Salât.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 156, Vol. 2)
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَرَأَ سُورَةً طَوِيلَةً، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ بِسُورَةٍ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ رَكَعَ حَتَّى قَضَاهَا وَسَجَدَ، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذلِكَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُفْرَجَ عَنْكُمْ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِي مَقَامِي هذَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وُعِدْتُهُ، حَتَّى لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أُرِيدُ أَنْ آخُذَ قِطْفًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونَي جَعَلْتُ أَتَقَدَّمُ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ جَهَنَّمَ يَحْطِمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا، حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي تَأَخَّرْتُ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا عَمْرَو بْنَ لُحَيٍّ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ.
Once the sun eclipsed and Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ stood up [for Salât (prayer)] and recited a very long Sûrah and then bowed for a long while and then raised his head and started reciting another Sûrah. Then he bowed, and after finishing, he prostrated and did the same in the second Rak'a and then said, "These (lunar and solar eclipses) are two signs from amongst the signs of Allâh, and if you see them, pray till the eclipse has cleared.No doubt, while standing at this place I saw everything promised to me by Allâh تعالى and I saw (Paradise) and I wanted to pluck a bunch (of grapes) therefrom, at the time when you saw me stepping forward. No doubt, I saw Hell with its different parts destroying each other, when you saw me retreating, and in it I saw 'Amr bin Luhai who started the tradition of Al-Sawa'ib (i.e. she-camels let loose for free pastures in the name of the idols, and other false deities).( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 303, Vol. 2)
10/2. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؛ أَنَّ يَهُودِيَّةً جَاءَتْ تَسْأَلُهَا، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا: أَعَاذَكِ اللهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ فَسَأَلَتْ عَائَشَةُ، رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، أَيُعَذَّبُ النَّاسُ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: عَائِذًا بِاللهِ مِنْ ذلِكَ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ مَرْكَبًا، فَخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَرَجَعَ ضُحًى، فَمَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَي الْحُجَرِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي، وَقَامَ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكوعًا طَويلًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكوعًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكوعِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَسَجَدَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ، فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكوعًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الرَّكوعِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ قِيَامًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكوعًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَسَجَدَ وَانْصَرَفَ، فَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذوا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ.
A Jewess came to ask 'Âisha (the wife of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) about something. She said to her, "May Allâh give you refuge from the punishment in the grave." So 'Âisha رضي الله عنها asked Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, "Would the people be punished in their graves?" Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I seek refuge with Allâh from it." (and thus replied in the affirmative).Then one day, Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم rode to go to some place but the sun eclipsed. He returned in the forenoon and passed through the rear of the dwellings (of his wives) and stood for the (eclipse) Salât (prayer), and the people stood behind him. He stood up for a long period and then performed a prolonged bowing. Then he stood straight for a long time which was shorter than that of the first standing, again he performed a prolonged bowing which was shorter than the first bowing. Then he raised his head and prostrated (twice).Then he stood up (for the second Rak'a) for a long while but the standing was shorter than that of the first Rak'a. Then he performed a prolonged bowing which was shorter than the first one. Then he stood up for a long time but shorter than the first. Then he raised his head and prostrated (twice) and finished the Salât and [then delivered the Khutba (religious talk) and] said as much as Allâh تعالى wished. And then he ordered the people to seek refuge with Allâh from the punishment in the grave.( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 159, Vol. 2)
10/3. Chapter:
حديث أَسْمَاءَ قَالَتْ: أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ تُصَلِّي، فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَإِذَا النَّاسُ قِيَامٌ، فَقَالَتْ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ قُلْتُ: آيَةٌ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَيْ نَعَمْ فَقُمْتُ حَتَّى تَجَلَاّنِي الْغَشْيُ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي الْمَاءَ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ، ﷿ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ أُرِيتُهُ إِلَاّ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي، حَتَّى الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ، فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنونَ فِي قُبُورِكُمْ مِثْلَ أَوْ قَرِيبَ (قَالَ الرَّاوِي: لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ) مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، يُقَالُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ (لَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّهِمَا قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ) فَيَقُولُ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ، جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى، فَأَجَبْنَا وَاتَّبَعْنَا، هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ (ثَلَاثًا)؛ فَيُقَالُ: نَمْ صَالِحًا، قَدْ عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لَمُوقِنًا بِهِ؛ وَأَمَّا المُنَافِقُ أَوِ المُرْتَابُ (لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ) فَيَقُولُ: لَا أَدْرِي، سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ.
I came to 'Âisha رضي الله عنها while she was offering Salât (prayer), and said to her, "What has happened to the people?" She pointed out towards the sky. (I looked towards the mosque), and saw the people offering Salât. 'Âisha رضي الله عنها said, "Subhân Allâh." I said to her, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with her head meaning, "Yes," I, too, then stood (for the prayer of eclipse) till I became (nearly) unconscious and later on I poured water on my head.After the prayer, the Prophet ﷺ praised and glorified Allâh ﷻ and then said “Just now at this place I have seen what I never saw before, including Paradise and Hell. No doubt, it has been inspired to me that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Masîh Ad-Dajjâl or nearly like it (the subnarrator is not sure which expression Asmâ’ رضي الله عنها used).You will be asked, ‘What do you know about this man (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)?’ Then the faithful believer (or Asmâ’ رضي الله عنها said a similar word) will reply, ‘He is Muhammad ﷺ, Allâh’s Messenger who came to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted his teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.’ And he will repeat it thrice. Then the angels will say to him, ‘Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were a faithful believer.’ On the other hand, a hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, ‘I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said it (the same).’ ”( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 86, Vol. 1)
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: انْخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا نحْوًا مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ؛ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَويلًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ركوعًا طَويلًا وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكوعِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ قِيَامًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَويلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَويِلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكوعًا طَوِيلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذلِكَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ تَنَاوَلْتَ شَيْئًا فِي مَقَامِكَ، ثُمَّ رَأَيْنَاكَ كَعْكَعْتَ؛ فَقَالَ ﷺ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَتَنَاوَلْتُ عُنْقُودًا، وَلَوْ أَصَبْتُهُ لأَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ مَا بَقِيَتِ الدُّنْيَا، وَأُرِيتُ النَّارَ فَلَمْ أَرَ مَنْظَرًا كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ أَفْظَعَ، وَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءَ قَالُوا: بِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: بِكُفْرِهِنَّ قِيلَ: يَكْفُرْنَ بِاللهِ قَالَ: يَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ، وَيَكْفُرْنَ الإِحْسَانَ، لَوْ أَحْسَنْتَ إِلَى إِحْدَاهُنَّ الدَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ، ثُمَّ رَأَتْ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا، قَالَتْ: مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ.
The sun eclipsed in the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ. Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ offered the eclipse Salât (prayer), and stood for a long period equal to the period in which one could recite Sûrat Al-Baqarah. Then he bowed for a long time, and then stood up for a long period, which was shorter than that of the first standing, then bowed again for a long time, but for a shorter period than the first; then he prostrated twice and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first standing; then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the previous one, and then he raised his head and stood up for a long time which was shorter than the first standing, then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the first bowing, and then prostrated (twice) and finished the Salât. By then, the sun (eclipse) had cleared.The Prophet ﷺ then said, "The sun and the moon are two signs from amongst the signs of Allâh. They eclipse neither because of the death of somebody nor because of his life (i.e. birth). So when you see them, remember Allâh."The people said, "O Allâh's Messenger! We saw you taking something from your place and then we saw you retreating." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I saw Paradise and (stretched my hands towards) a bunch (of its fruit, when you saw me taking something) and had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world remains. I also saw the Hell-fire and I had never seen such a horrible sight (when you saw me retreating). I saw that most of its inhabitants were women."The people asked, "O Allâh's Messenger! Why is it so?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Because of their ungratefulness." It was asked whether they are ungrateful to Allâh. The Prophet ﷺ said, "They are ungrateful to their companions of life (husbands) and ungrateful to good favours done to them. If you have done good favours to one of them throughout the life and if she notices anything (undesirable) in you, she will say, 'I have never seen any good from you.' "( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 161, Vol. 2)
10/5. Chapter:
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، نُودِيَ: إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةٌ، فَرَكَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي سَجْدَةٍ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ، ثُمَّ جُلِّيَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: مَا سَجَدْتُ سُجُودًا قَطُّ كَانَ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهَا.
When the sun eclipsed in the lifetime of Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, an announcement was made that the Salât (prayer) was to be held in congregation. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم performed two bowings in one Rak'a. Then he stood up and performed two bowings in one Rak'a. Then he sat down and finished the Salât, and by then, the sun (eclipse) had cleared. 'Aisha رضي الله عنها said, "I had never performed such a long prostration." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 160, Vol. 2)
حديث أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death of someone from the people, but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allâh تعالى. When you see them stand up and offer Salât (prayer)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 151, Vol. 2 )
حديث أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَزِعًا، يَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ السَّاعَةُ؛ فَأَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلّى بِأَطْوَلِ قِيَامٍ وَرُكُوعٍ وَسُجُودٍ رَأَيْتُهُ قَطُّ يَفْعَلُهُ، وَقَالَ: هذِهِ الآيَاتُ الَّتِي يُرْسِلُ اللهُ، لَا تَكُونُ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلكِنْ يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِ عِبَادَهُ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَدُعَائِهِ وِاسْتِغْفَارِهِ.
The sun eclipsed and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم got up, being afraid that it might be the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment). He went to the mosque and offered the Salât (prayer) with the longest Qiyâm (standing), Rukû' (bowing) and Sujûd (prostration) that I had ever seen him doing. Then he said, "These signs which Allâh تعالى sends, do not occur because of the life or death of somebody, but Allâh frightens with them 'Ibâdahu (His slave or His worshippers). So when you see anything thereof, proceed to remember Allâh تعالى, invoke Him and ask for His forgiveness." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 167, Vol. 2 )
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُخْبِرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of someone, but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allâh تعالى. When you see them offer Salât (prayer)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 152, Vol. 2 )
