ﷺ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْكُسُوفِ قَالَتْ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّرَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ دَنَتْ مِنِّي الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ اجْتَرَأْتُ لَجِئْتُكُمْ بِقِطَافٍ مِنْ قِطَافِهَا وَدَنَتْ مِنِّي النَّارُ حَتَّى قُلْتُ يَا رَبُّ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ؟ وَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ قَالَ نَافِعٌ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَخْدِشُهَا هِرَّةٌ قُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ هَذِهِ؟ قِيلَ لِي حَبَسَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ لَا هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَلَا هِيَ أَرْسَلَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خِشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ  

[Machine] The sun set during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , so he stood up and prayed. He prolonged his standing, then went into the bowing position and prolonged it as well. He then stood up again and prolonged his standing, then went into the bowing position and prolonged it once again. He then stood up again, prostrated twice, and repeated the same in the second cycle of prayer. After completing the prayer, he said, "Paradise was brought close to me, so close that if I were to reach out, I could take a handful of its fruits. And Hellfire was brought close to me, so close that I thought I would be burned while with them. I saw a cat in it and thought that it was preventing a woman from feeding it and not allowing it to eat from the vegetation of the earth until it died."  

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ أُدْنِيَتْ مِنِّي الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ اجْتَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهَا لَأَتَيْتُكُمْ بِقِطْفٍ مِنْ أَقْطَافِهَا وَلَقَدْ أُدْنِيَتْ مِنِّي النَّارُ حَتَّى قُلْتُ يَا رَبُّ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ؟ فَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا هِرَّةً قَالَ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهَا تَخْدِشُ امْرَأَةً حَبَسَتْهَا فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خِشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the eclipse prayer, then he stood and prolonged his standing. Then he went into Rukoo' (bowing) and prolonged his bowing. Then he raised his head and went into Sujood (prostration) and prolonged his prostration. Then he raised his head and went into Sujood again and prolonged his prostration. Then he left and said, "Paradise has been brought close to me to the point that if I had a grape from it, I would have brought it to you. And the Hellfire has been made distant from me to the point that when I saw a beautiful woman, a kitten came and scratched her. So I said, 'What is the matter with her?' They said, 'She has been detained until she dies of hunger, not feeding her or letting her eat.' I said, 'Nafi' (the narrator) thought he said, 'From a type of grass or the grass of the earth.'"
