Chapter on the legitimacy of the prayer for it and how it is called
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 2885 — on the legitimacy of the prayer for it
عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: انْكَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ وَصَلُّوا حَتَّى تَنْكَشِفَ))
Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), on the day when (the Prophet’s son) Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, the sun was eclipsed. People began to say that the eclipse occurred because of the death of Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him). But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah Almighty; they do not lose their light because of anyone’s death or life. When you see this, then supplicate and offer prayer until it becomes clear.
