Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 528
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.
Abu Musa Narrated from:
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 )
