صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ مِنَ الْعَجَلَةِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ خَطَبَنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ كُسُوفَ أَحَدِهِمَا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمُ

Collected by Bukhārī, Nasāʾī, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīWe were with Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the sun eclipsed. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up dragging his cloak till he entered the Mosque. He led us in a two-rakʿat prayer till the sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's death. So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over."
كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَدَخَلْنَا فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ ﷺ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ
In the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the sun eclipsed and he went out dragging his clothes till he reached the Mosque. The people gathered around him and he led them and offered two rakʿat. When the sun (eclipse) cleared, he said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse because of the death of someone, and so when an eclipse occurs, pray and invoke Allah till the eclipse is over." It happened that a son of the Prophet ﷺ called Ibrahim died on that day and the people were talking about that (saying that the eclipse was caused by his death).
خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَثَابَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَانْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهُمَا لاَ يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَإِذَا كَانَ ذَاكَ فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ وَذَاكَ أَنَّ ابْنًا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَاتَ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ فِي ذَاكَ
"We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the sun became eclipsed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out dragging his garment, until he came to the masjid, and the people gathered around him. He led us in praying two rak'ahs and when (the eclipse) ended he said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT) by means of which Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, strikes fear into His slaves. They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that, then pray until Allah (SWT)r relieves you of fear.' That was because his son named Ibrahim had died, and the people suggested to him that (the eclipse) happened because of that."
كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَثَابَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا انْكَشَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُخَوِّفُ اللَّهُ ﷻ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لاَ يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ ابْنًا لَهُ مَاتَ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ نَاسٌ فِي ذَلِكَ
"We were with the Prophet ﷺ and the sun became eclipsed. He got up and went to the masjid, dragging his garment in haste. The people stood with him and he prayed two rak'ahs as they usually prayed. When the eclipse ended he addressed us and said 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT), with which He strikes fear into His slaves. They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see either of them being eclipsed, then pray and supplicate until it removed it from you.'"
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ مِنَ الْعَجَلَةِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلُّونَ فَلَمَّا انْجَلَتْ خَطَبَنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ كُسُوفَ أَحَدِهِمَا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يَنْكَشِفَ مَا بِكُمْ
[Machine] The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , so he quickly got up and rushed to the mosque. The people followed him, and he performed two units of prayer. Afterwards, he turned to us and said, "Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah, and by them, Allah frightens His servants. They do not eclipse for the death of anyone. His son, Ibrahim, passed away. So, when you see an eclipse, pray and supplicate to Allah until what is troubling you is removed."
كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ مُسْتَعْجِلًا حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ وَثَابَ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَجُلِّيَ عَنْهَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَلَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَاتَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهُمَا شَيْئًا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةَ «فَادْعُوا» أَرَادَ بِهِ فَصَلُّوا عَلَى حَسَبَ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
[Machine] "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when the sun set, so he immediately rushed to the mosque, hastily removed his garment and performed two rak'ahs of prayer like your regular prayers. Then he turned to his companions and said, 'Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah by which He instills fear in His servants. They do not eclipse due to the death of anyone among the people. Furthermore, my son has passed away. So, if you ever witness an eclipse, hasten to perform prayer until what you fear subsides.'"
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ ﷺ عَجْلَانًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَرَ إِزَارَهُ أَوْ ثَوْبَهُ وَثَّابَ إِلَيْهِ نَاسٌ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ نَحْوَ مَا تُصَلُّونَ ثُمَّ جُلِّيَ عَنْهَا فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَثَّابَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ تُوُفِّيَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَكْشِفَ مَا بِكُمْ»

[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
Verily the sun and the moon are the two signs among the signs of Allah by which He frightens his servants and they do not eclipse on account of the death of any one of the people. So when you see anything about them, observe prayer, supplicate Allah till it is cleared from you. (Using translation from Muslim 911a)
"إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ والْقَمَرَ لا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَد، وَلا لِحَيَاتِه، ولَكِنَّهُما آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ الله يُخوِّفُ الله بِهما عبَادَه، فَإِذا رأيتُم ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا وادْعوا حتَّى يكْشفَ مَا بِكُمْ".
