7. Ṣalāh of Eclipse
٧۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الْخُسُوفِ
[Machine] The sun set during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he prayed two units of prayer.
انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ
[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the sun was eclipsed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out dragging his cloak until he reached the mosque and the people gathered. He led us in two units of prayer. When the eclipse was over, he said, "Verily, the sun and moon are two signs from the signs of Allah. Allah causes fear to His servants by them, and they do not eclipse because of the death or life of anyone. So when you see that, pray until what is bothering you is relieved." He added, "And that is because his son died, and it was said to him, 'Ibrahim.'" Some people said regarding that matter...
كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَثَابَ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا انْكَشَفَ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ قَالَ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ ابْنًا لَهُ مَاتَ يُقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ نَاسٌ فِي ذَلِكَ
[Machine] While I was throwing arrows in the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , suddenly the sun was eclipsed, so I left them and said, "Let me see what happens to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the solar eclipse today." I approached him and saw him raising his hands, glorifying, praising, inciting the talbiyah, declaring the greatness (of Allah) and supplicating, until the sun was cleared. Then he recited two Surahs and performed two units of prayer.
بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَرْمِي بِأَسْهُمٍ لِي فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذِ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَنَبَذْتُهُنَّ وَقُلْتُ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ مَا يَحْدُثُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ رَافِعٌ يَدَيْهِ يُسَبِّحُ وَيَحْمَدُ وَيُهَلِّلُ وَيُكَبِّرُ وَيَدْعُو حَتَّى حَسَرَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ
"The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he rushed out, dragging his cloak until he came to the masjid. He continued leading us in prayer until the eclipse ended. When it ended, he said: 'People claim that the eclipse of the sun and moon only happen when a great man dies, but that is not so. Eclipses of the sun and the moon do not happen for the death or birth of anyone, but they are signs from Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime. When Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, manifests Himself to anything of His creation, it humbles itself before Him, so if you see that then pray like the last obligatory prayer you did before that.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1485)
انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ فَزِعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ فَلَمَّا انْجَلَتْ قَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ إِلَّا لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعُظَمَاءِ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ إِذَا تَجَلَّى لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا كَأَحْدَثِ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ إِنَّمَا
[Machine] The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , so he prayed two units of prayer until the sun became clear again. He then said, "Some people used to say in the time of ignorance that if one of them was eclipsed, it was only due to the death of a great leader from the noble people of the earth. But this is not the case, rather they are two signs from the signs of Allah's creation. Therefore, when you witness this, pray." This was narrated by Harith bin Umayr al-Basri from Ayyub from Abu Qilabah from Nu'man bin Bashir. He prayed two units of prayer and inquired about it until it became clear. This was also narrated by Hasan from Nu'man bin Bashir, excluding these words that may imply something opposing, and excluding the wording of manifestation.
كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيُسَلِّمُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا كَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا إِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللهُ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا وَرَوَاهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ فِيهِ فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَأَلَ عَنْهَا حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ وَرَوَاهُ الْحَسَنُ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ خَالِيًا عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأَلْفَاظِ الَّتِي تُوهِمُ خِلَافًا وَخَالِيًا عَنْ لَفْظِ التَّجَلِّي
The Prophet ﷺ came rushing out to the masjid one day when the sun eclipsed, and he prayed until the eclipse ended, then he said: "The people of Jahilliyyah used to say that eclipses of the sun and the moon only happened when some great man on earth died. But eclipses of the sun and the moon do not happen for the death or birth of anyone. Rather they are two of the creations of Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) causes to happen in His creation what He wills. Whichever of them becomes eclipsed, pray until it is over or Allah (SWT) causes something to happen." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1490)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ مُسْتَعْجِلًا يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ وَقَدِ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلَّى حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْخَسِفَانِ إِلَّا لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ ﷻ وَيُحْدِثُ اللهُ فِي خَلْقِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ فَأَيُّهُمَا انْخَسَفَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَ أَوْ يُحْدِثَ اللهُ ﷻ أَمْرًا هَذَا أَشْبَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَحْفُوظًا وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ الْهِلَالِيِّ
[Machine] The sun eclipsed during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ so he performed two units of prayer with them. He prolonged the standing in them. Then the sun became clear and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the signs are a source of fear by which Allah frightens His servants. So when you see that, pray as you have never prayed before." This is the wording of the hadith from Abdul Warith, and it is not mentioned in the narration of Wahb as a source of fear. He ﷺ then went out in a state of panic, pulling his clothes, and I was with him in Medina on that day.
كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَطَالَ فِيهِمَا الْقِيَامَ قَالَ وَانْجَلَتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا الْآيَاتُ تَخْوِيفًا يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا كَأَحْدَثِ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ وَلَيْسَ فِي رِوَايَةِ وُهَيْبٍ تَخْوِيفًا وَزَادَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ فَخَرَجَ فَزِعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهَذَا أَيْضًا لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ إِنَّمَا
