"The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up and (remained standing) for a long time." (One of the narrators) Shu'bh said: "I think he said something similar concerning prostration."- "He started weeping and blowing during his prostration and said: 'Lord, You did not tell me that You would do that while I am asking You for forgiveness; You did not tell me that You would do that while I was still among them.' When he finished praying he said: "Paradise was shown to me, and if I had stretched forth my hand I could have taken some of its fruits. And Hell was shown to me, so I started blowing for fear that its heat might overwhelm you. I saw therein the thief who stole the two camels of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; and I saw therein the brother of Banu As-Du'du; the thief who stole from the pilgrims, and when he was caught he said: The crooked stick did it; and I saw therein a tall black woman who was being punished because of a cat she tied up and did not feed or give it water, and she did not let it eat of the vermin of the earth, until it died. Then sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone, but they are two of the signs of Allah. If one of them becomes eclipsed'- or he said: 'if one of them does anything like that'- 'then hasten to remember Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.'"

كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ فِي السُّجُودِ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ وَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي فِي سُجُودِهِ وَيَنْفُخُ وَيَقُولُ رَبِّ لَمْ تَعِدْنِي هَذَا وَأَنَا أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لَمْ تَعِدْنِي هَذَا وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَىَّ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ مَدَدْتُ يَدِي تَنَاوَلْتُ مِنْ قُطُوفِهَا وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَىَّ النَّارُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْفُخُ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَغْشَاكُمْ حَرُّهَا وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا سَارِقَ بَدَنَتَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا أَخَا بَنِي دُعْدُعٍ سَارِقَ الْحَجِيجِ فَإِذَا فُطِنَ لَهُ قَالَ هَذَا عَمَلُ الْمِحْجَنِ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا امْرَأَةً طَوِيلَةً سَوْدَاءَ تُعَذَّبُ فِي هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَسْقِهَا وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ وَإِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا انْكَسَفَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا أَوْ قَالَ فَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ﷻ

كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَأَطَالَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ فِي السُّجُودِ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ وَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي فِي سُجُودِهِ وَيَنْفُخُ وَيَقُولُ «رَبِّ لَمْ تَعِدْنِي هَذَا وَأَنَا أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لَمْ تَعِدْنِي هَذَا وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ» فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ مَدَدْتُ يَدِي تَنَاوَلْتُ مِنْ قُطُوفِهَا وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْفُخُ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَغْشَاكُمْ حَرُّهَا وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا سَارِقَ بَدَنَتَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا أَخَا بَنِي دَعْدَعٍ سَارِقَ الْحَجِيجِ فَإِذَا فُطِنَ لَهُ قَالَ هَذَا عَمَلُ الْمِحْجَنِ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا امْرَأَةً طَوِيلَةً سَوْدَاءَ تُعَذَّبُ فِي هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تُسْقِهَا وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ وَإِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ فَإِذَا انْكَسَفَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا أَوْ قَالَ فَعَلَ إِحْدَاهُمَا شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ

"إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ والْقَمَرَ آيَتَان منْ آيات الله ﷻ فَإذا رأَيتُم كُسُوف أَحَدِهِما، فاسْعَوا إِلى ذكْرِ الله، والَّذي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِه لَقَدْ أُدْنيَت الْجنَّةُ مَنِّى حتَّى لَوْ بسطْتُ يدِي لَتَعاطيتُ مِن قُطُوفِهَا، ولَقَدْ أُدْنِيتِ النَّارُ منِّي حتَّى جعلْتُ أَتَّقيها خَشْيةَ أَنْ تَغْشَاكم حتَّى رأَيتُ فيها امْرأَةً مِنْ حِمْير سوْداءَ طُوالة تُعذَّبَ في هِرَّة ربَطَتْها فَلَمْ تَدَعْها تَأْكُل مِن خشَاشِ الأَرْضِ، ولا هِى أَطْعَمَتْها، ولا هي سقَتها حتَّى مَاتَت، فَلَقَدْ رأيتُها تَنْهشُها إِذا أَقبلَتْ، وإِذَا وَلَّتْ تنهشُ رأْسها، وحتَّى رأَيتُ فِيها صاحِب- الْسِّبتيتين أَخابنى الدَّعْدع. يُدْفعُ بعصًا ذَاتِ شُعْبتين في النَّارِ، وحتَّى رأَيتُ فيها صاحب الْمحجن الَّذي كَانَ يسْرِقُكُمْ. إِنِّما تَعلَّقَ بِمِحْجنِى، مُتَّكِئًا على محْجِنه في النَّارِ، يقُولُ: أَنَا سَارِقُ المِحْجن".

"إِنَّه عُرِضتْ علىَّ الجنَّةُ والنَّارُ، فقرُبْت من الجنَّةِ حتى لقدْ تناولتُ مِنْها قطفًا، فضرب يدى عنه، وعُرضتْ علىَّ النَّارُ، فجعلتُ أَتأَخرُ رهبة أَنْ تغشانى، ورأَيْتُ امرأةً حِمْيَرَّيةً سوداءَ طويلةً تُعذِّبُ فِى هِرَّة رَبَطتْها فلمْ تُطعمها ولمْ تسْقها ولم تدعْها تأكلُ خشاش الأرضِ، ورأيْتُ فبها أبا ثُمَامة عمْروَ بْن مالِك يَجرُّ قُصُبَه في النَّارِ، فإِنَّهم كانوا يقولون: إِنَّ الشَّمسَ والقمر لا ينكسفان (إِلَّا) لموْتِ عظِيم، وإِنَّهما آيتان منْ آيات اللَّهِ، يرُيكُمُوهُمَا، فإذا انكسَفا فصلُّوا حتَّى تنْجلى".
