[Machine] The sun was eclipsed in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He used to pray two units of prayer, then ask, then pray two units of prayer, then ask, until the sun became clear. He said, "There are people among the people of ignorance who say or claim that when the sun or the moon is eclipsed, it is only due to the death of a great person from the leaders of the people of the Earth. However, that is not the case. Rather, they are two creations among the creations of Allah. When Allah manifests Himself to something from His creation, it humbles itself before Him."
كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ أَوْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّ ذَاكَ لَيْسَ كَذَاكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى الله ﷻ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ
