7. Ṣalāh of Eclipse (2/2)
٧۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الْخُسُوفِ ص ٢
[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
7.11 [Machine] After the prayer of the eclipse
٧۔١١ بَابُ الْخُطْبَةِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ
In the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ the sun eclipsed, so he led the people in prayer, and stood up and performed a long Qiyam, then bowed for a long while. He stood up again and performed a long Qiyam but this time the period of standing was shorter than the first. He bowed again for a long time but shorter than the first one, then he prostrated and prolonged the prostration. He did the same in the second rakʿa as he did in the first and then finished the prayer; by then the sun (eclipse) had cleared. He delivered the Khutba (sermon) and after praising and glorifying Allah he said, "The sun and the moon are two signs against the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse on the death or life of anyone. So when you see the eclipse, remember Allah and say Takbir, pray and give Sadaqa." The Prophet then said, "O followers of Muhammad! By Allah! There is none who has more ghaira (selfrespect) than Allah as He has forbidden that His slaves, male or female commit adultery (illegal sexual intercourse). O followers of Muhammad! By Allah! If you knew that which I know you would laugh little and weep much. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1044)
خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ فَقَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَادْعُوا اللهَ وَكَبِّرُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَاللهِ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ يَزْنِيَ عَبْدُهُ أَوْ تَزْنِيَ أَمَتُهُ يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا
The sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. As I went to 'A'isha who was busy in prayer. I said: What is the matter with the people that they are praying (a special prayer)? She ('A'isha) pointed towards the sky with her head. I said: Is it (an unusual) sign? She said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for prayer for such a long time that I was about to faint. I caught hold of a waterskin lying by my side, and began to pour water over my head, or (began to sprinkle water) on my face. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then finished and the sun had brightened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then addressed the people, (after) praising Allah and lauding Him, and then said: There was no such thing as I did not see earlier, but I saw it at this very place of mine. I ever saw Paradise and Hell. It was also revealed to me that you would be tried in the graves, as you would he tried something like the turmoil of the Dajjal. Asma' said: I do not know which word he actually used (qariban or mithl), and each one of you would be brought and it would be said: What is your knowledge about this man? If the person is a believer, (Asma' said: I do not know whether it was the word al-Mu'min or al-Mu'qin) he would say: He is Muhammad and he is the Messenger of Allah. He brought to us the clear signs and right guidance. So we responded and obeyed him. (He would repeat this three times), and it would be said to him: You should go to sleep. We already knew that you are a believer in him. So the pious man would go to sleep. So far as the hypocrite or sceptic is concerned (Asma' said: I do not know which word was that: al-Munafiq (hypocrite) or al-Murtad (doubtful) he would say: I do not know. I only uttered whatever I heard people say. (Using translation from Muslim 905a)
الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ وَهِيَ تُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ يُصَلُّونَ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَأَطَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْقِيَامَ جِدًّا حَتَّى تَجَلَّانِي الْغَشْيُ فَأَخَذْتُ قِرْبَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُوعَدُونَهُ لَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ قَرِيبًا أَوْ مِثْلَ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ لَا أَدْرِي أِيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَأَجَبْنَا وَاتَّبَعْنَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ قَدْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ تُؤْمِنُ بِهِ فَنَمْ صَالِحًا وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَدْرِي أِيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ قَالَ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْحُسَيْنِ
[Machine] That day I attended a sermon by Samurah ibn Jundub, in which he mentioned that once, when he was a young boy among the Ansar, we played a game near the Prophet's ﷺ covenant until the sun was just above the horizon, it turned black and shone like a firebrand. One of us said to his companion, "Let's go to the mosque and, by Allah, we will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what happened to the sun in his nation." So we went to the mosque, and there he was standing at the door. When he went out to the people, he came forward and prayed with us for as long as he had never prayed before, his voice being inaudible. Then he bowed with us as long as he had never bowed before, his voice being inaudible. Then he prostrated with us as long as he had never prostrated before, his voice being inaudible. Then he did the same in the second rakah, and when he rose from the second prostration, the sun had cleared up while he was still sitting and the people were still in the second rakah. Then he said the tasleem, praised and glorified Allah, and testified that there is no god but Allah and that he is His servant and Messenger. Then he said, "O people, I am only a human being and the Messenger of Allah. I remind you of Allah. If you know that I have omitted something of my Lord's messages, inform me of them, so that I may fully convey my Lord's messages as they should be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed my Lord's messages, then bear witness to that " So the people got up and said, "We bear witness that you have conveyed your Lord's messages and acted with sincerity towards your nation, and you have fulfilled what was required of you." Then they fell silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse and the disappearance of these stars from their place, this is caused by the death of great men from the people of the earth, and they deny it but they are signs from the signs of Allah by means of which He puts His slaves to the test, until He sees who among them will turn in repentance. By Allah, since I started praying, I have been seeing things that neither you nor anyone else on earth can see. The Hour will not begin until thirty liars appear among whom the last will be the one-eyed Dajjal, who will be rubbing the eye with which he is blind and it will look like the eye of Abu Yahya's father, a leader among the Ansar. When he appears, whoever believes in him, follows him, but his former good deeds will not benefit him, and whoever disbelieves in him and rejects him, his previous bad deeds will not be counted against him. He will appear on the entire earth except for the Haram and the Bayt al-Maqdis, and he will gather the believers in the Bayt al-Maqdis, where they will experience a severe earthquake that Allah and His soldiers will be able to defeat him so that even the roots of the trees and the stones of the walls will call out, 'O believer, this one is a disbeliever seeking refuge with me, so come and kill him.' And that will not happen until you see matters becoming more serious among yourselves, and you will ask each other whether your Prophet has informed you of them. The mountains will then move from their places, at which point he gestured with his hand. Then I witnessed another sermon in which he mentioned this hadith, neither adding to it nor omitting anything from it.
أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ خُطْبَةً يَوْمًا لِسَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ فَذَكَرَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ بَيْنَا أَنَا يَوْمًا وَغُلَامٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ نَرْمِي غَرَضًا لَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى قِيدِ رُمْحَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي عَيْنِ النَّاظِرِ مِنَ الْأُفُقِ اسْوَدَّتْ حَتَّى آضَتْ كَأَنَّهَا تَنُّومَةٌ فَقَالَ أَحَدُنَا لِصَاحِبِهِ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَاللهِ لَيُحْدِثَنَّ شَأْنُ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسِ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أُمَّتِهِ حَدَثًا فَدَفَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بَارِزٌ فَوَافَقْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ قَالَ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا كَأَطْوَلِ مَا قَامَ بِنَا فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ لَا يُسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ بِنَا كَأَطْوَلِ مَا رَكَعَ بِنَا فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ لَا يُسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتُهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ بِنَا كَأَطْوَلِ مَا سَجَدَ بِنَا فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ لَا يُسْمَعُ لَهُ صَوْتُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَوَافَقَ تَجَلِّي الشَّمْسِ جُلُوسَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ تَعَالَى وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَشَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ فَأُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي قَصَّرْتُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ تَبْلِيغِ رِسَالِاتِ رَبِّي لَمَا أَخْبَرْتُمُونِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالِاتِ رَبِّي كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تُبَلَّغَ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ رِسَالِاتِ رَبِّي لَمَا أَخْبَرْتُمُونِي قَالَ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ فَقَالُوا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالِاتِ رَبِّكَ وَنَصَحْتَ لِأُمَّتِكَ وَقَضَيْتَ الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَكَتُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ رِجَالًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ كُسُوفَ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسِ وَكُسُوفَ هَذَا الْقَمَرِ وَزَوَالَ هَذِهِ النُّجُومِ عَنْ مَطَالِعِهَا لِمَوْتِ رِجَالٍ عُظَمَاءَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَأَنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا وَلَكِنْ آيَاتٌ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ يَفْتِنُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ لَيَنْظُرَ مَنْ يُحْدِثُ مِنْهُمْ تَوْبَةً وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مُنْذُ قُمْتُ أُصَلِّي مَا أَنْتُمْ لَاقُونَ فِي دُنْيَاكُمْ وَأُخْرَاكُمْ وَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ ثَلَاثُونَ كَذَّابًا آخِرُهُمُ الْأَعْوَرُ الدَّجَّالُ مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ الْيُسْرَى كَأَنَّهَا عَيْنُ أَبِي يَحْيَى لِشَيْخٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَإِنَّهُ مَتَى خَرَجَ فَإِنَّهُ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ اللهُ فَمَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَصَدَّقَهُ وَاتَّبَعَهُ فَلَيْسَ يَنْفَعُهُ صَالِحٌ مِنْ عَمَلٍ سَالِفٍ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بِهِ وَكَذَّبَهُ فَلَيْسَ يُعَاقَبُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ سَلَفَ وَإِنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا إِلَّا الْحَرَمَ وَبَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ وَإِنَّهُ يُحْضِرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَيُزَلْزَلُونَ زِلْزَالًا شَدِيدًا فَيَهْزِمُهُ اللهُ وَجُنُودُهُ حَتَّى أَنَّ جِذْمَ الْحَائِطِ وَأَصْلَ الشَّجَرَةِ لَيُنَادِي يَا مُؤْمِنُ هَذَا كَافِرٌ يَسْتَتِرُ بِي تَعَالَ اقْتُلْهُ قَالَ وَلَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَرَوْا أُمُورًا يَتَفَاقَمُ شَأْنُهَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ تَسَاءَلُونَ بَيْنَكُمْ هَلْ كَانَ نَبِيُّكُمْ ذَكَرَ لَكُمْ مِنْهَا ذِكْرًا وَحَتَّى يَزُولَ جِبَالٌ عَنْ مَرَاسِيهَا ثُمَّ عَلَى أَثَرِ ذَلِكَ الْقَبْضُ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ شَهِدْتُ خُطْبَةً أُخْرَى قَالَ فَذَكَرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَا قَدَّمَهَا وَلَا أَخَّرَهَا
The Prophet ﷺ delivered a Khutbah when the sun eclipsed and he said: 'Amma ba'd (to proceed).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1501)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حِينَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ
7.12 [Machine] What is recommended for the Imam in attracting people's attention to goodness, encouraging them to repent and getting closer to Allah through voluntary acts of goodness in the sermon of the eclipse.
٧۔١٢ بَابُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْإِمَامِ مِنْ حَضِّ النَّاسِ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ وَأَمْرِهِمْ بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَالتَّقَرُّبِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ بِنَوَافِلِ الْخَيْرِ فِي خُطْبَةِ الْخُسُوفِ
The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stood in great anxiety fearing that it might be the Doomsday, till he came to the mosque. He stood up to pray with prolonged qiyam, ruku', and prostration which I never saw him doing in prayer; and then he said: These are the signs which Allah sends, not on account of the death of anyone or life of any one, but Allah sends them to frighten thereby His servants. So when you see any such thing, hasten to remember Him, supplicate Him and beg pardon from Him, and in the narration transmitted by Ibn 'Ala the words are:" The sun eclipsed"."" He frightens His servants." (Using translation from Muslim 912)
كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ فَزِعًا يَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ السَّاعَةَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي بِأَطْوَلِ قِيَامٍ وَرُكُوعٍ وَسُجُودٍ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُهُ فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي يُرْسِلُ اللهُ لَا تَكُونُ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَرْسَلَهَا يُخَوِّفُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَدُعَائِهِ وَاسْتِغْفَارِهِ
[Machine] The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he mentioned it in his prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer and the sun had reappeared. He addressed the people and praised and glorified Allah. Then he said, "Verily, the sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse due to the death or life of anyone. So when you see them, supplicate to Allah and pray and give charity, O Ummah of Muhammad. There is none greater in terms of forbearance than Allah, that His slave commits adultery or His nation commits adultery. O Ummah of Muhammad, if you knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little. Have I not conveyed the message?"
خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَكَبِّرُوا وَادْعُوا اللهَ وَصَلُّوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ يَزْنِيَ عَبْدُهُ أَوْ تَزْنِيَ أَمَتُهُ يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَلَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِالْعَتَاقَةِ عِنْدَ الْكُسُوفِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the emancipation when the sun set.
أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَتَاقَةٍ حِينَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ
[Machine] We were commanded to express condolences at times of mourning.
كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ عِنْدَ الْخُسُوفِ بِالْعَتَاقَةِ
7.13 [Machine] The Sunnah of the Eclipse Prayer in the Grand Mosque
٧۔١٣ بَابُ سُنَّةِ صَلَاةِ الْخُسُوفِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْجَامِعِ
[Machine] The wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "The sun eclipsed in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he went out to the mosque and mentioned the narration."
زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
[Machine] The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they said it had eclipsed because of the death of Ibrahim. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to the mosque and prayed with the people. He said, "O people, the sun and the moon do not eclipse for the death or life of anyone. So when you see that, hasten to the prayer."
انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا انْكَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
7.14 [Machine] The indicator that one should only perform the eclipse prayer until it has completely disappeared, and once it has disappeared, one should not begin with prayer.
٧۔١٤ بَابُ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْخُسُوفِ حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَ، فَإِذَا انْجَلَى لَمْ يُبْتَدَأْ بِالصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] Ibn Shu'bah says, "The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , on the day when Ibrahim died. The people said, 'The sun has eclipsed due to the death of Ibrahim.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'The sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah, they do not eclipse for the death or the life of anyone. So when you see them, supplicate to Allah and pray until the eclipse is over."
بْنَ شُعْبَةَ يَقُولُ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ انْكَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَادْعُوا اللهَ وَصَلُّوا حَتَّى تَنْكَشِفَ
[Machine] About Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (PBUH), she mentioned a hadith about the prayer of the Prophet (PBUH) during the solar eclipse, as previously mentioned in the hadith of Bahir ibn Nasr, narrated from Ibn Wahb. And she added at the end, she said: "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, 'Continue praying until you are relieved.' And the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, 'I saw in this position of mine everything that was promised to me. Indeed, I saw myself wanting to take a handful from Paradise when you saw me advancing, and I saw Hellfire breaking parts of it when you saw me delaying, and I saw in it Ibn Luhaib, the one who will suffer the severe punishment.'"
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي خُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ كَمَا مَضَى فِي حَدِيثِ بَحْرِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ وَزَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَيْضًا ﷺ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُفْرَجَ عَنْكُمْ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَيْتُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وُعِدْتُمْ حَتَّى لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أُرِيدُ أَنْ آخُذَ قِطْفًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي جَعَلْتُ أَتَقَدَّمُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ جَهَنَّمَ يَحْطِمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي تَأَخَّرْتُ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا ابْنَ لُحَيٍّ وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ
7.15 [Machine] The evidence for the permissibility of starting with a sermon after dawn prayer
٧۔١٥ بَابُ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى جَوَازِ الِابْتِدَاءِ بِالْخُطْبَةِ بَعْدَ التَّجَلِّي
(the wife of the Prophet) On the day when the sun Khasafat (eclipsed) Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed; he stood up and said Takbir and recited a prolonged recitation, then he performed a prolonged bowing, then he raised his head and said, "Samiʿa l-lahu Lyman Hamidah," and then remained standing and recited a prolonged recitation which was shorter than the first. Then he performed a prolonged bowing which was shorter than the first. Then he prostrated and prolonged the prostration and he did the same in the second rakʿa as in the first and then finished the prayer with Taslim. By that time the sun (eclipse) had cleared He addressed the people and said, "The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse (Yakhsifan) because of the death or the life (i.e. birth) of someone. So when you see them make haste for the prayer." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1047)
رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَامَ فَكَبَّرَ وَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ وَقَامَ كَمَا هُوَ فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً وَهِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سُجُودًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ إِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
7.16 [Machine] The individual performs the prayer of the solar eclipse if an imam is not present by relying on what has been transmitted regarding the Prophet's urgency to prayer.
٧۔١٦ بَابُ الْمُنْفَرِدِ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْخُسُوفِ إِذَا لَمْ يَحْضُرْهُ إِمَامٌ اسْتِدْلَالًا بِمَا مَضَى مِنْ أَمْرِهِ ﷺ بِالْفَزَعِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] I saw Ibn Abbas praying two units of prayer on the back of Zamzam during the eclipse of the sun, two units of prayer in each unit.
رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ صَلَّى عَلَى ظَهْرِ زَمْزَمَ لِخُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ
7.17 [Machine] Women attend the mosque for the eclipse prayer
٧۔١٧ بَابُ النِّسَاءِ يَحْضُرْنَ الْمَسْجِدَ لِصَلَاةِ الْخُسُوفِ
[Machine] She said that the Prophet ﷺ was startled on the day the sun eclipsed, and he took a shield until he reached his cloak. Then he stood for a long time, standing and then bowing. If a person came after he bowed, he did not bow at all, and he told himself that he had bowed during the long standing. She said, "So I started looking at the woman who was older than me and at the woman who was sicker than me, both of them were standing, and I said to myself that I am more deserving to endure the long standing than you."
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ فَزِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَأَخَذَ دِرْعًا حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ بِرِدَائِهِ فَقَامَ بِالنَّاسِ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا يَقُومُ ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ فَلَوْ جَاءَ إِنْسَانٌ بَعْدَمَا رَكَعَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَكَعَ شَيْئًا مَا حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ أَنَّهُ رَكَعَ مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ قَالَتْ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي هِيَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي وَإِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي هِيَ أَسْقَمُ مِنِّي قَائِمَةً فَأَقُولُ أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ أَصْبِرَ عَلَى طُولِ الْقِيَامِ مِنْكِ
7.18 [Machine] He does not pray in congregation at anything from the signs except the sun and the moon, and Al-Shafi'i argued in the past on this, citing that there was an earthquake during the time of Umar ibn Al-Khattab, so he delivered a sermon and it was not mentioned that he prayed.
٧۔١٨ بَابٌ: لَا يُصَلِّي جَمَاعَةً عِنْدَ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ غَيْرِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ وَاحْتَجَّ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي الْقَدِيمِ فِي ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ زَلْزَلَةً كَانَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى
[Machine] "The earth shook during the time of Umar, until the beds clapped together. Ibn Umar was praying and he did not realize it, nor did anyone who was praying. Umar addressed the people and said, 'Did you feel it? You acted in haste.' She said, 'I do not know, except that he said, 'If it happens again, I will make you leave from among your backs.'"
زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ عَلَى عَهْدِ عُمَرَ حَتَّى اصْطَفَقَتِ السُّرُرُ وَابْنُ عُمَرَ يُصَلِّي فَلَمْ يَدْرِ بِهَا وَلَمْ يُوَافِقْ أَحَدًا يُصَلِّي فَدَرَى بِهَا فَخَطَبَ عُمَرُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ أَحْدَثْتُمْ لَقَدْ عَجِلْتُمْ قَالَتْ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ لَئِنْ عَادَتْ لَأَخْرُجَنَّ مِنْ بَيْنِ ظَهْرَانَيْكُمْ
7.19 [Machine] Who preferred seeking refuge in prayer alone during darkness, earthquakes, and other signs?
٧۔١٩ بَابُ مَنِ اسْتَحَبَّ الْفَزَعَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فُرَادَى عِنْدَ الظُّلْمَةِ وَالزَّلْزَلَةِ وَغَيْرِهَا مِنَ الْآيَاتِ
Ubaydullah ibn an-Nadr reported on the authority of his father: Darkness prevailed in the time of Anas ibn Malik, I came to Anas and said (to him): AbuHamzah, did anything like this happen to you in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He replied: Take refuge in Allah. If the wind blew violently, we would run quickly towards the mosque for fear of the coming of the Day of Judgment. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1196)
فَأَتَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ هَلْ كَانَ يُصِيبكُمْ مِثْلُ هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللهِ إِنْ كَانَتِ الرِّيحُ لَتَشْتَدُّ فَنُبَادِرُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ مَخَافَةَ الْقِيَامَةِ
[Machine] It was said to Ibn Abbas, "Fulana, some of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ have passed away." So he prostrated and it was said to him, "Do you prostrate at this hour?" He replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When you see a sign, then prostrate. And what sign is greater than the departure of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ ?'" The narration is from Al-Rawdhbari 6379, and in the narration of Al-Qadi, he said, "We heard a voice in the city. So Ibn Abbas said to me, 'O Akrimah, look, what is this voice?' I went, and I found Sawdah bint Huwayy, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , had passed away." He said, "So I came to Ibn Abbas and found him prostrating. When the sun rose, I said to him, 'Subhanallah, you prostrated and the sun has not yet risen?' He said, 'O nephew, did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "When you see a sign, then prostrate"? And what sign is greater than the departure of the mothers of the believers from among us while we are still alive?'"
قِيلَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَاتَتْ فُلَانَةُ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَخَرَّ سَاجِدًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَسْجُدُ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ آيَةً فَاسْجُدُوا وَأِيُّ آيَةٍ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذِهَابِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ 6379 وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْقَاضِي قَالَ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لِيَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَا عِكْرِمَةُ انْظُرْ مَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ؟ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ امْرَأَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَدْ تُوُفِّيَتْ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَوَجَدْتُهُ سَاجِدًا وَلَمَّا تَطْلُعِ الشَّمْسُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ تَسْجُدُ وَلَمْ تَطْلُعِ الشَّمْسُ بَعْدُ؟ فَقَالَ يَا لَا أُمَّ لَكَ أَلَيْسَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ آيَةً فَاسْجُدُوا فَأِيُّ آيَةٍ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَخْرُجْنَ أُمَّهَاتُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِنَا وَنَحْنُ أَحْيَاءٌ
[Machine] Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said, "If you hear this call from the sky, hasten to prayer."
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ هَادًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
7.20 [Machine] Whoever prays during the earthquake with an increased number of bowings and standings as a comparison to the eclipse prayer
٧۔٢٠ بَابُ مَنْ صَلَّى فِي الزَّلْزَلَةِ بِزِيَادَةِ عَدَدِ الرُّكُوعِ وَالْقِيَامِ قِيَاسًا عَلَى صَلَاةِ الْخُسُوفِ
[Machine] He offered six units of prayer in four prostrations, five units of prayer with two prostrations each, and two prostrations in one unit of prayer. Ash-Shafi'i said, "If this hadith is proven authentic to us from Ali, we would affirm it." As-Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said that it is narrated from Ibn Abbas and is authentic.
أَنَّهُ صَلَّى فِي زَلْزَلَةٍ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ خَمْسَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ وَرَكْعَةً وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَلَوْ ثَبَتَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عِنْدَنَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ لَقُلْنَا بِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ هُوَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ثَابِتٌ كَمَا
[Machine] He prayed during an earthquake in Basra, and he prolonged the prostration (sujood), then he performed the bow (rukoo'), then he raised his head and prolonged the prostration (sujood), then he performed the bow (rukoo') again and raised his head, then he prolonged the prostration (sujood) again, then he performed the bow (rukoo') and then prostrated (sajdah), then he stood up for the second (rak'ah) and did the same. Thus, his prayer became six bowings (raka'at) and four prostrations (sujood). Qatadah said about his narration, "Such are the verses." Ibn Abbas said, "Such is the prayer of the verses."
أَنَّهُ صَلَّى فِي زَلْزَلَةٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَأَطَالَ الْقُنُوتَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَطَالَ الْقُنُوتَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَطَالَ الْقُنُوتَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَفَعَلَ كَذَلِكَ فَصَارَتْ صَلَاتُهُ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ هَكَذَا الْآيَاتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هَكَذَا صَلَاةُ الْآيَاتِ
