Musnad Abi Ya'la 7302 — there was a solar eclipse in the time
وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ زَمَنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي بِأَطْوَلَ قِيَامٍ وَرُكُوعٍ وَسُجُودٍ رَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُهُ فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي تُرْسَلُ لَا تَكُونُ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ ، وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يُرْسِلُهَا يُخَوِّفُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ، فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِهِ وَدُعَائِهِ وَاسْتِغْفَارِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a solar eclipse in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to pray and made the standing, the bowing and the prostration so long that I had never seen him (peace and blessings be upon him) do anything so long in any prayer. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These signs which are sent (by Allah) do not occur because of anyone's death or life; rather, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sends them to make His servants fear. So when you see anything of them (an eclipse and the like), hasten to the remembrance of Allah, to supplicating Him and to seeking His forgiveness."
