[Machine] "The sun darkened on the day when Ibrahim, the son of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , died. People said that the sun darkened because of Ibrahim's death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. Know that they do not darken for the death or life of anyone. So when you see them as such, hasten to the mosques.' Then he stood up and recited what we can see as, '{Alif, Lam, Ra. (This is) a Book [the Quran] which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that you might bring mankind out of darknesses into the light by permission of their Lord - to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy}' (Ibrahim 1). Then he performed a bow, straightened, prostrated twice, and then stood up and did the same as he did before."

I heard Mughira b. Shu'ba saying that the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day when Ibrahim died. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Verily the sun and the moon are the two signs among the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse on account of the death of anyone or on account of the birth of anyone. So when you see them, supplicate Allah, and observe prayer till it is over. (Using translation from Muslim 915)

[Machine] We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the sun was eclipsed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up in fear, dragging his garment until he entered the mosque and performed two units of prayer. He continued to pray until the eclipse passed, and this occurred at the time of the death of Ibrahim, the son of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The people said, "The sun was eclipsed due to the death of Ibrahim." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O people, the sun and the moon are signs of Allah's creation. They do not eclipse for the death of anyone. So when you see an eclipse, supplicate to Allah until it clears."
