2. Book of Ṣalāh
٢۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death of someone from the people but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allah. When you see them stand up and pray." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1041)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيْسَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا»
[Machine] "The Prophet (pbuh) prayed eight units of prayer in four prostrations during an eclipse."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي كُسُوفٍ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ»
[Machine] May Allah protect you from the torment of the grave. When the Prophet ﷺ came, she asked him, "How do people get punished in their graves?" He replied, "By seeking refuge in Allah."
أَعَاذَكِ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَأَلَتْهُ أَيُعَذَّبُ النَّاسُ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ؟ قَالَ «عَائِذًا بِاللَّهِ»
[Machine] The sun was eclipsed, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and his prayer was narrated by Ibn Abbas that he ﷺ prayed two units (rak'ahs) in each unit (rak'ah), then he gave them a sermon and said, "Verily, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse for the death or life of any person. So, when you witness that, hasten to the remembrance of Allah."
خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَكَى ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ صَلَاتَهُ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ»
The above hadith has been narrated through several other chains of transmitters. (Using translation from Muslim 2327b)
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ح
[Machine] "The sun set and the Prophet ﷺ prayed, and it was said that he performed two units of prayer in each unit."
«خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَحَكَتْ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»
[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ ordered when the sun was eclipsed to perform a prayer of eclipse."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ حِينَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ بِعَتَاقَةٍ»
This tradition has also been narrated on the authority of ‘A’ishah through a different chain. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 99)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ
