و أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ أَنَّ جَدَّهُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْوَازِعِ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ الْهِلَالِيِّ قَالَ کَسَفَتْ الشَّمْسُ وَنَحْنُ إِذْ ذَاکَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَخَرَجَ فَزِعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ فَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ أَطَالَهُمَا فَوَافَقَ انْصِرَافُهُ انْجِلَائَ الشَّمْسِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَی عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْکَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْ ذَلِکَ شَيْئًا فَصَلُّوا کَأَحْدَثِ صَلَاةٍ مَکْتُوبَةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1491
It was narrated that Qabisah bin Mukhariq Al-HilalI said: “There was an eclipse of the sun and at that time we were with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم in Al Madinah. He rushed out dragging his garment and prayed two Rak’ahs, which he made lengthy. The end of his prayer coincided with the end of the eclipse. He praised and glorified Allah, then he said: ‘The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see anything of that, then pray like the last obligatory prayer you did before that.” (Da’if)
