قَبِيصَةُ بْنُ مُخَارِقٍ الْهِلَالِيُّ

[Machine] "The sun eclipsed during the time of the Prophet ﷺ while he was in Madinah, until the stars appeared to them. The Prophet ﷺ stood up and prayed two rak'ahs, in which he prolonged the standing. After completing his prayer, he turned towards the people and said, 'When you see signs like these, it is only a fear from Allah ﷻ. So when you see it, pray similar to the most recent prayer you have offered.'"  

الطبراني:١٦١٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْجَرْمِيُّ ثَنَا أُنَيْسُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ قَبِيصَةَ الْهِلَالِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ

أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ انْكَسَفَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى بَدَتْ لَهُمُ النُّجُومُ وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَطَالَ فِيهَا الْقِيَامَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ تَخْوِيفٌ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَصَلُّوا مِثْلَ أَحْدَثِ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا»

abudawud:1185 – Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > Wuhayb > Ayyūb > Abū Qilābah > Qabīṣah al-Hilālī

There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He came out bewildered pulling his garment, and I was in his company at Medina. He prayed two rak'ahs and stood for a long time in them. He then departed and the sun became bright. He then said: There are the signs by means of which Allah, the Exalted, produces dread (in His servants). When you see anything of this nature, then pray as you are praying a fresh obligatory prayer.  

أبو داود:١١٨٥ – حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ الْهِلاَلِيِّ قَالَ

كُسِفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ فَزِعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأَطَالَ فِيهِمَا الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَانْجَلَتْ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ الآيَاتُ يُخَوِّفُ اللَّهُ بِهَا فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَصَلُّوا كَأَحْدَثِ صَلاَةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ

الحاكم:١٢٣٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ الْهِلَالِيِّ قَالَ

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَالَّذِي عِنْدِي أَنَّهُمَا عَلَّلَاهُ بِحَدِيثِ رَيْحَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ وَحَدِيثٍ يَرْوِيهِ مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ لَا يُعَلِّلُهُ حَدِيثُ رَيْحَانَ وَعَبَّادٍ
