عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ: مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ يُصَلُّونَ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَقُلْتُ: آيَةٌ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، فَأَطَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقِيَامَ جِدًّا حَتَّى تَجَلَّانِي الْغَشْيُ، فَأَخَذْتُ قِرْبَةً إِلَى جَنْبِي، فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي الْمَاءَ، فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَخَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((أَمَّا بَعْدُ، مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَٰذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي قُبُورِكُمْ قَرِيبًا أَوْ مِثْلَ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ "لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ، قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ" يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَٰذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ، قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ، هُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَأَجَبْنَا وَاتَّبَعْنَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ قَدْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ أَنْ كُنْتَ لَتُؤْمِنُ بِهِ فَنَمْ صَالِحًا وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَدْرِي، سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ))
Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: During the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the sun was eclipsed. So I entered upon Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) (she was also participating in that prayer). I said: What has happened to the people, that they are praying? She pointed towards the sky with her head. I said: Is this a (sign of) punishment? She (indicated) said: Yes. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for a very long time, until I began to faint, so I took a water skin lying on my side and started pouring water over my head. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished (the prayer), he delivered a sermon, praised and glorified Allah, then said: After praise and glorification! There is nothing that I had not seen before, except that I have seen it at this place. I have seen Paradise and the Fire as well. Indeed, it has been revealed to me that you will soon be tested in your graves like the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal). Each one of you will be approached (in the grave) and it will be said to him: What do you know about this man (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him)? So the believer or the one with certainty will say: He is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he is the Messenger of Allah, he came to us with clear proofs and guidance, so we accepted and followed him. He will say this three times. Then it will be said to him: Indeed, we knew that you believed in him, so sleep in a good state. As for the matter of the hypocrite or the one in doubt, he will say: I do not know, I heard people saying something, so I said it too, (but now I do not know anything).
