أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْکَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَکِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1467
It was narrated that Abu Mas’ud said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone, rather they are two of the signs of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, so when you see that then pray.” (Sahih)
