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.
A'isha Narrated from:
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)
