"The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he rushed out, dragging his cloak until he came to the masjid. He continued leading us in prayer until the eclipse ended. When it ended, he said: 'People claim that the eclipse of the sun and moon only happen when a great man dies, but that is not so. Eclipses of the sun and the moon do not happen for the death or birth of anyone, but they are signs from Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime. When Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, manifests Himself to anything of His creation, it humbles itself before Him, so if you see that then pray like the last obligatory prayer you did before that.'"

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ فَزِعًا حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُصَلِّي بِنَا حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ فَلَمَّا انْجَلَتْ قَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ إِلاَّ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعُظَمَاءِ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ﷻ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ إِذَا بَدَا لِشَىْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا كَأَحْدَثِ صَلاَةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ

“The sun was eclipsed at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he came out alarmed, dragging his lower garment, until he reached the mosque. He continued to perform prayer until the eclipse was over, then he said: ‘Some people claim that the sun and moon only become eclipsed because of the death of a great leader. That is not so. The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. When Allah manifests Himself to anything in His creation, it humbles itself before Him.’”

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ فَزِعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ إِلاَّ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعُظَمَاءِ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللَّهُ لِشَىْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ

[Machine] The sun was eclipsed in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He used to pray two units of prayer, then ask, then pray two units of prayer, then ask, until the sun became clear. He said, "There are people among the people of ignorance who say or claim that when the sun or the moon is eclipsed, it is only due to the death of a great person from the leaders of the people of the Earth. However, that is not the case. Rather, they are two creations among the creations of Allah. When Allah manifests Himself to something from His creation, it humbles itself before Him."

كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ أَوْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّ ذَاكَ لَيْسَ كَذَاكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى الله ﷻ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ

[Machine] The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he went out and prayed two units of prayer and asked for forgiveness. Then he prayed two more units of prayer and asked for forgiveness, until the eclipse was over. He then said, "Some people claim that when the sun or moon is eclipsed, it is a sign of the death of a great person among the nobles. But that is not the case. Both the sun and the moon are created beings from the creation of Allah. When Allah manifests Himself to something from His creation, it humbles itself before Him."

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَسْأَلُ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعُظَمَاءِ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ ﷻ فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى الله ﷻ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ

(Using translation from Nasāʾī 1485)

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ فَزِعًا حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ فَلَمَّا انْجَلَتْ قَالَ «إِنَّ نَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ إِلَّا لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعُظَمَاءِ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ إِذَا تَجَلَّى لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا كَأَحْدَثِ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ»

[Machine] The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , so he prayed two units of prayer until the sun became clear again. He then said, "Some people used to say in the time of ignorance that if one of them was eclipsed, it was only due to the death of a great leader from the noble people of the earth. But this is not the case, rather they are two signs from the signs of Allah's creation. Therefore, when you witness this, pray." This was narrated by Harith bin Umayr al-Basri from Ayyub from Abu Qilabah from Nu'man bin Bashir. He prayed two units of prayer and inquired about it until it became clear. This was also narrated by Hasan from Nu'man bin Bashir, excluding these words that may imply something opposing, and excluding the wording of manifestation.

كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيُسَلِّمُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا كَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا إِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللهُ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا وَرَوَاهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ فِيهِ فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَأَلَ عَنْهَا حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ وَرَوَاهُ الْحَسَنُ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ خَالِيًا عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأَلْفَاظِ الَّتِي تُوهِمُ خِلَافًا وَخَالِيًا عَنْ لَفْظِ التَّجَلِّي

"إِنَّ رجالًا يزعمون أَن الشمسَ والقمرَ إِذا انكسف واحدٌ منهما فإِنما ينكسفُ لموتِ عظيمٍ، وليس كذلك، ولكنَّهما خلقان من خلقِ اللَّهِ، فإِذا تجَّلى اللَّهُ لِشَىْءٍ من خلقِهِ خَشَعَ له".

" عَنْ قُبَيْصَةَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ: أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ انْكَسَفَتْ فَصَلَّى النَّبِىُّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يُخْسَفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ، ويُحْدِثُ اللهُ فِى خَلْقِهِ مَا شَاءَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - إِذَا تَجَلَّى لِشَىْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ فَأَيُّهُمَا انْكَسَفَتْ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى تَنْجَلِىَ أَوْ يُحْدِث اللهُ أَمْرًا".
