"إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ والْقَمَرَ آيَتَان مِنْ آيَات الله لا يُخْسَفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَد، وَلا لِحَيَاته، فَإِذَا رَأَيتُمْ ذَلِكَ فاذْكُرُوا الله، إنِّي رَأَيتُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَتَنَاوَلْتُ منْها عُنْقُودًا، وَلَوْ أصَبْتُه لأَكَلْتُم منْهُ مَا بَقيتِ الدُّنْيَا، وَرَأَيتُ النَّارَ فَلَمْ أَرَ مَنْظَرًا كاليَوْمِ قَطُّ أَفْظعَ، وَرأَيتُ أَكثَرَ أَهْلِها النِّساءَ بَكُفْرهِن، قيلَ: أَيَكْفُرْنَ بالله؟ قَال: يَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشيرَ، وَيَكْفُرْنَ الإِحْسَانَ، لَوْ أَحْسَنْتَ إِلى إِحْدَاهُنَّ الدَّهرَ كُلَّهُ ثُمَّ رأَتْ منْكَ شيئًا قَالتْ: ما رأَيتُ مِنْكَ خَيرًا قَطُّ".

The sun eclipsed in the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ . Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the eclipse prayer and stood for a long period equal to the period in which one could recite Surat-al-Baqara. Then he bowed for a long time and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first standing, then bowed again for a long time but for a shorter period than the first; then he prostrated twice and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first standing; then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the previous one, and then he raised his head and stood up for a long period which was shorter than the first standing, then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the first bowing, and then prostrated (twice) and finished the prayer. By then, the sun (eclipse) had cleared. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. They eclipse neither because of the death of somebody nor because of his life (i.e. birth). So when you see them, remember Allah." The people say, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We saw you taking something from your place and then we saw you retreating." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I saw Paradise and stretched my hands towards a bunch (of its fruits) and had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world remains. I also saw the Hell-fire and I had never seen such a horrible sight. I saw that most of the inhabitants were women." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Why is it so?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Because of their ungratefulness." It was asked whether they are ungrateful to Allah. The Prophet said, "They are ungrateful to their companions of life (husbands) and ungrateful to good deeds. If you are benevolent to one of them throughout the life and if she sees anything (undesirable) in you, she will say, 'I have never had any good from you.' "

"There was an eclipse of the sun and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and the people with him. He stood for long time reciting something like Surah Al-Baqarah, then he raised (his head) and stood for a long time, then he raised (his head) and stood for a long time which was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time, which was shorter than the first time, then he prostrated. Then he got up and stood for a long time, which was shorter than the first time, then he bowed for a long time, which was shorter than the first time, then he raised (his head) and stood for a long time, which was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time, which was shorter than the first time, then he prostrated, then he finished (his prayer) and the sun had been clear. He said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT) and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then remember Allah (SWT) the Mighty and Sublime.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we saw you stretching out your hand when you were standing, then we saw you moving backward. He said: 'I saw Paradise-or it was shown to me- and I reached out to a take a bunch of its fruits. If I ha taken it you would have eaten from it for as long as this world lasts. And I saw Hell and I have never seen anything like it, and I saw that most of its inhabitants are women.' They said: "Why, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: 'Because of their ingratitude.' It was said: 'Are they ungrateful to Allah?' He said: 'They are ungrateful to their husbands and they are ungrateful for kind treatment. If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime, then she sees (one) bad thing from you, she will say: I have never seen anything good from you.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1493)

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ in the story of fear, it is narrated that I saw the fire, and I have never seen a more horrific sight since that day. I saw most of its inhabitants were women. They asked, "What is the reason for that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Because of their disbelief." Someone asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" He replied, "They disbelieve in good treatment. Even if you were to treat one of them well for a lifetime and she sees something bad from you, she would say, 'I have never seen any good from you.'"
