"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".
[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
"عَنِ النعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِير قَالَ: انْكَسَفت الشَّمسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رسُولِ الله ﷺ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّى رَكعَتَيْنِ وَيُسَلِّمُ، ويُصَلِّى رَكعَتَيْنِ وَيُسَلِّمُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ، فقَالَ: إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انكَسَفَا أَوْ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعظماء وليس كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُما خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ الله، فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى الله لِشَئٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ".
