عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَمِعْتُ رَجَّةَ النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ آيَةً (فَذَكَرَتْ نَحْوَا الْحَدِيثِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ وَفِيهِ) فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُمْ، وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَغَ مِنْ سَجْدَتِهِ الْأُولَى قَالَتْ: فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَعْضَ مَنْ يُصَلِّي يَنْتَضِحُ بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ قَامَ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ قِيَامًا طَوِيلًا، وَهُوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا وَهُوَ دُونَ رُكُوعِهِ الْأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ رَقِيَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ: ((أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَإِلَى الصَّدَقَةِ وَإِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ، أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ لَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَٰذَا، وَقَدْ أُرِيتُكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي قُبُورِكُمْ، يُسْأَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ وَمَا كُنْتَ تَعْبُدُ؟ فَإِنْ قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي، رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ وَيَصْنَعُونَ شَيْئًا فَصَنَعْتُهُ، قِيلَ لَهُ أَجَلْ، عَلَى الشَّكِّ عِشْتَ وَعَلَيْهِ مُتَّ هَٰذَا مَقْعَدُكَ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَإِنْ قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، قِيلَ: عَلَى الْيَقِينِ عِشْتَ وَعَلَيْهِ مُتَّ، هَٰذَا مَقْعَدُكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ خَمْسِينَ أَوْ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ فِي مِثْلِ سُورَةِ القَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ))، فَقَالَ: ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ: ((اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْهُمْ، أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أَنْزِلَ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ))، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَبِي؟ قَالَ: ((أَبُوكَ فُلَانٌ)) الَّذِي كَانَ يُنْسَبُ إِلَيْهِ
Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) says: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the sun lost its light. I heard the mixed voices of people; they were saying: "A sign, a sign." (Then, as in the previous hadith, she narrated the hadith. In addition, the following matters are also included:) I prayed with them, (when I arrived) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the first rak'ah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for a long time, until I saw some of the people praying sprinkling water (on themselves). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed (in ruku') and made a long ruku', then he stood up and began to stand again and did not prostrate; this standing was less than the first standing. Then he made a long ruku', but it was somewhat less than the first ruku'. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer with salam, the sun had become clear. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit and said: "O people! Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. They do not lose their light because of anyone's death or life. When you see them like this, hasten to prayer, charity, and the remembrance of Allah. O people! There is nothing that I had not seen before, except that I saw it at this place, and I also saw you being tested in your graves. Each of you is being asked: What did you use to say? Whom did you worship? If someone replies: I do not know, I only said what I heard people saying, and I only did what I saw people doing, it will be said to him: Very well, you lived your life in doubt and died upon it; this fire is your abode. And if someone says: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and indeed Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, it will be said to him: You lived your life with certainty and died upon it; this Paradise is your abode. Surely, I saw fifty or seventy thousand people entering Paradise with faces like the full moon of the fourteenth night." A man stood up and said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Pray to Allah that He admits me among them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Admit him among them." O people! Whatever you ask me before I descend, I will answer you. So a man stood up and said: Who is my father? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Your father is so-and-so (i.e., he mentioned the name of the person to whom he was attributed).
