Musnad Abi Ya'la 5394 — the sun was eclipsed during the caliphate
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثُمَّ الْخَطْمِيُّ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَوْجَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ، قَالَ : كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي عَهْدِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ ، فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عُثْمَانُ وَدَخَلَ دَارَهُ ، وَجَلَسَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ ، وَجَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ عِنْدَ كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ أَوِ الْقَمَرِ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ قَدْ أَصَابَهَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، فَإِنَّهَا إِنْ كَانَتِ الَّتِي تَحْذَرُونَ كَانَتْ وَأَنْتُمْ عَلَى غَيْرِ غَفْلَةٍ ، وَكُنْتُمْ قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ خَيْرًا أَوِ اكْتَسَبْتُمُوهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that the sun was eclipsed during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), and at that time Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was present in Madinah. He relates that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came out (for the prayer) and led the people in a prayer of two rak'ahs, each rak'ah of which had two prostrations. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), having finished the prayer, went into his house, while Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) sat down near the chamber of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and we sat with him. He said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command us to pray when the sun or the moon is eclipsed, and he used to say: 'When you see that it has been eclipsed, hasten to the prayer, for if it turns out to be that (Hour) which you are warned of, it will come while you are not in a state of heedlessness, and you will have attained good' - or he said: 'you will have earned it.'"
