حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ سَأَلَ أَهْلُ مَکَّةَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آيَةً فَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ بِمَکَّةَ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَنَزَلَتْ اقْتَرَبَتْ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ إِلَی قَوْلِهِ سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ يَقُولُ ذَاهِبٌ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3286
Narrated Anas: The people of Makkah asked the Prophet (ﷺ) for a sign, so the moon was cleft asunder in Makkah two times (meaning two parts), so the following was revealed: 'The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder, up to his saying: 'Magic, Mustamir (54:1 & 2)' meaning 'Going away.'
