7. Ṣalāh of Eclipse
٧۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الْخُسُوفِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah, by which Allah frightens His servants. And indeed, they do not eclipse for the death or the life of anyone. So when you see anything from them, then pray and supplicate until what concerns you is lifted." Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us that Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, that Muhammad ibn al-Hajjaj al-Warraqu and Ja'far ibn Muhammad said: Yahya ibn Yahya informed us, and he mentioned it in a similar way except that he said: "until it is lifted."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَكْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يَنْكَشِفَ مَا بِكُمْ 6354 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ الْوَرَّاقُ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ يُكْشَفَ
[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that he said: Indeed, the sun and the moon do not eclipse for the death or life of anyone, but they are signs from the signs of Allah. So when you see them, pray."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَةٌ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَصَلُّوا
[Machine] The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he came out and performed two units of prayer. Then he said, "Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse for the death or life of anyone. So if you see an eclipse, then pray and supplicate to Allah and remember Him in this manner..."
كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا كَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا وَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ هَكَذَا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed two rak'ahs like this prayer of yours, and he mentioned the eclipse of the sun. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1492)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِثْلَ صَلَاتِكُمْ هَذِهِ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ
[Machine] I only prayed as I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying, and he said, "Verily, the sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse for the death or life of anyone. So if you see anything of them as an eclipse, then seek refuge in Allah."
إِنَّمَا صَلَّيْتُ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمَا خَاسِفًا فَلْيَكُنْ فَزَعُكُمْ إِلَى اللهِ
