أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَی لَا يَنْکَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَکِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1464
It was narrated that Abu Bakrah said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘The sun and moon are two of the signs of Allah, the Most High, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone, rather Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, strikes fear into His slaves through them.” (Sahih).
