"The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up to pray, and those who were with him also got up. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and (then) prostrated for a long time. Then he raised his head and sat for a long time. Then he prostrated for a long time, then he raised his head and stood up, and he did in the second rak'ah the same as he had done in the first, standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting. He started blowing and weeping at the end of his prostration in the second rak'ah, saying: 'You did not tell me that You would do that while I was still among them; You d not tell me that You would do that while we are asking You for forgiveness.' Then he raised his head and the eclipse ended. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and addressed the people. He praised and glorified Allah then he said: "The sun and moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime. If you see either of them being eclipsed, then hasten to remember Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, Paradise was brought so near to me that if I had stretched out my hand, I could have taken some of its fruits. And Hell was brought so near to me that I tried to ward it off for fear it may overwhelm you. I saw therein a woman from Himyar who was being punished because of a cat she tied up, not leaving it free to eat of the vermin of the earth, nor feeding it or giving it water, until it died. I saw it biting her when she came and biting her backside when she went. And I saw the owner of the Sabtiyatain, the brother of Banu As-Da'da, being pushed with a two-pronged stick in the Fire. And I saw the owner of the stick with a crooked end, who used to steal from the Hajj pilgrims with that crooked stick, leaning on his stick in Hell and saying: 'I am the thief with the crooked stick.'"  

قَالَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَقَامَ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فَقَامَ قِيَامًا فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَسَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَجَلَسَ فَأَطَالَ الْجُلُوسَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَامَ فَصَنَعَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى مِنَ الْقِيَامِ وَالرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ وَالْجُلُوسِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُخُ فِي آخِرِ سُجُودِهِ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَيَبْكِي وَيَقُولُ لَمْ تَعِدْنِي هَذَا وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ لَمْ تَعِدْنِي هَذَا وَنَحْنُ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَانْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ﷻ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ كُسُوفَ أَحَدِهِمَا فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ﷻ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ أُدْنِيَتِ الْجَنَّةُ مِنِّي حَتَّى لَوْ بَسَطْتُ يَدِي لَتَعَاطَيْتُ مِنْ قُطُوفِهَا وَلَقَدْ أُدْنِيَتِ النَّارُ مِنِّي حَتَّى لَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَتَّقِيهَا خَشْيَةَ أَنْ تَغْشَاكُمْ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ فِيهَا امْرَأَةً مِنْ حِمْيَرَ تُعَذَّبُ فِي هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ فَلاَ هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَلاَ هِيَ سَقَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا تَنْهَشُهَا إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ وَإِذَا وَلَّتْ تَنْهَشُ أَلْيَتَهَا وَحَتَّى رَأَيْتُ فِيهَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّتَيْنِ أَخَا بَنِي الدَّعْدَاعِ يُدْفَعُ بِعَصًا ذَاتِ شُعْبَتَيْنِ فِي النَّارِ وَحَتَّى رَأَيْتُ فِيهَا صَاحِبَ الْمِحْجَنِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْرِقُ الْحَاجَّ بِمِحْجَنِهِ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى مِحْجَنِهِ فِي النَّارِ يَقُولُ أَنَا سَارِقُ الْمِحْجَنِ  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Amr say, "The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stood up, and we stood up and prayed. Then, he came to us and started to talk. He said, 'Paradise was shown to me and if I wished, I could have taken its fruits. And Hellfire was shown to me, and if it wasn't for me pushing it away from you, it would have covered you.' I saw three people being punished in it: a dark-skinned tall woman who was being punished in a cat for mistreating her cat. She did not feed it or let it eat from the vermin of the earth until it died. So, when it approached her, it would tear her apart, and when it turned away from her, it would tear her apart. I also saw the brother of Bani Du'daan being dragged by two columns in Hellfire, and Du'daan's twin braids were dragging him. He had stolen them from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I also saw the man with the growth (beard) resting on his growth (beard). The man with the growth (beard) used to steal from the war spoils with his growth (beard) hiding the stolen goods. When it vanished, he was affected by it, and when it appeared again, he would say, 'I did not steal; it just got stuck in my growth (beard)."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُ «انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا يُحَدِّثُنَا فَقَالَ » لَقَدْ عُرِضَتَ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ شِئْتُ لَتَعَاطَيْتُ مِنْ قُطُوفِهَا وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ فَلَوْلَا أَنِّي دَفَعْتُهَا عَنْكُمْ لَغَشِيَتْكُمْ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا ثَلَاثَةً يُعَذَّبُونَ امْرَأَةً حِمْيَرِيَّةً سَوْدَاءَ طَوِيلَةً تُعَذَّبُ فِي هِرَّةٍ لَهَا أَوْثَقَتْهَا فَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ فَهِيَ إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ تَنْهَشُهَا وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ تَنْهَشُهَا وَرَأَيْتُ أَخَا بَنِي دَعْدَعٍ صَاحِبَ السَّائِبِتَيْنِ يُدْفَعُ بِعَمُودَيْنِ فِي النَّارِ وَالسَّائِبَتَانِ بَدَنَتَانِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرَقَهُمَا وَرَأَيْتُ صَاحِبَ الْمِحْجَنِ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى مِحْجَنِهِ وَكَانَ صَاحِبُ الْمِحْجَنِ يَسْرِقُ مَتَاعَ الْجّاجِّ بِمِحْجَنِهِ فَإِذَا خَفِيَ لَهُ ذَهَبَ بِهِ وَإِذَا ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْرِقْ إِنَّمَا تَعَلَّقَ بِمِحْجَنِي «

"يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ ﷻ وَإِنُّهَما لا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ بَشَرٍ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَنْجلىَ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِن شَىْءٍ تُوعَدُونَهُ إِلا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِى صَلاتِى هَذِهِ، وَلَقَدْ جِئَ بِالنَّارِ حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِى تَأَخَّرْتُ مَخَافَةَ مِنْ نَفْحِهَا حَتَّى قُلْتُ: يَارَبِّ؛ وَأَنَا فِيهمْ؟ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا صَاحِبَ الْمِحْجَنِ يَجرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِى النَّارِ؛ كَانَ يَسْرِقُ الْحَاجَّ بِمِحْجَنِهِ فَإِنْ فُطِنَ بِهِ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا تَعَلَّقَ بِمِحْجَنى، وَإنْ غُفِلَ عَنْهُ ذَهَبَ بِهِ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ فِيهَا صَاحِبَةَ الْهِرَّة الَّتِى رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَمْ تُطعِمْهَا، وَلَمْ تَتْرُكْهَا تَأكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ جُوعًا، وَجِئَ بِالْجَنَّةِ، فَذَلِكَ حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِى تَقَدَّمْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ فِى مَقَامِى فَمَدَدْتُ يَدِى وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا لِتَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِى أَن لا أفْعَلَ".  

"عُرِضَتِ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَو مَدَدْتُ يَدِي تَنَاوَلْتُ مِنْ قُطُوفِهَا, وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ فَجعَلْتُ أَنْفُخُ خَشيَةَ أَنْ يَغْشَاكُمْ حَرُّهَا, وَرَأَيتُ فيهَا سَارِقَ بَدَنَة رَسوُلِ الله ﷺ وَرَأَيتُ فيَها أَخَا بَنِي دَعدعَ سَارِقَ الْحَجِيج فَإِدا فُطنَ لَهُ قَال: هَذَا عَمَلُ الْمحْجَنِ، وَرَأَيتُ فِيهَا امْرَأَةً طَويلَةً سَوْدَاءَ تُعَذَّبُ فيِ هرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا فَلمْ تُطعمْهَا، وَلَمْ تَسبْقِهَا، وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ، وإنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَات الله، فَإِذَا انْكَسَفَت إِحْدَاهُمَا فَاسْعَوْا إِلَي ذِكْرِ الله ﷻ".
