Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2162 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The sun
وَعَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The sun and the moon are not eclipsed for the death of anyone nor for his birth; rather, they are two of the signs of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. So when you see that (eclipse), hold fast to prayer."
