Hadith 25351

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : خَسَفَتْ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ، فَأَطَالَ الْقِرَاءَةَ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ، فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ، فَأَطَالَ الْقِرَاءَةَ وَهِيَ دُونَ قِرَاءَتِهِ الْأُولَى ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ، فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ وَهُوَ دُونَ رُكُوعِهِ الْأَوَّلِ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ، فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ قَامَ ، فَصَنَعَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ ، فَافْزَعُوا لِلصَّلَاةِ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once during the time of the Prophet, there was a solar eclipse. The Prophet (peace be upon him) began to pray and stood for a long time, then he bowed and made a long bowing, then before going into prostration he raised his head and stood for a long time, although this standing was shorter than the first one. Then he bowed and made a long bowing, but this bowing was shorter than the first one. Then he prostrated. Then he stood for the second rak'ah and did the same as he had done in the first rak'ah, but in this rak'ah the first standing was longer than the second, and the first bowing was longer than the second. In this way, the Prophet (peace be upon him) completed the prayer while the solar eclipse had ended. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of anyone's death or life, rather both are signs of Allah. Therefore, when you see this, immediately turn towards prayer.
