Hadith 2827
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عِلاقَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ ، يَقُولُ : انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ : إِنَّمَا انْكَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ، لا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلا لِحَيَاتِهِ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَادْعُوا وَصَلُّوا ، حَتَّى تَنْجَلِيَ " .
Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: During the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), there was a solar eclipse. This happened on the day when (the son of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away. People said: This eclipse has occurred because of the death of Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse because of anyone’s death or life. When you see them (in the state of eclipse), supplicate and perform prayer until they become clear.
Hadith 2828
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُخْبِرُ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلا لِحَيَاتِهِ ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : الأَمْرُ بِالصَّلاةِ عِنْدَ كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ ، أُرِيدَ بِهِ أَحَدُهُمَا ، لأَنَّهُمَا لا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِوَقْتٍ وَاحِدٍ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates regarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (He said:) "Indeed, the sun and the moon do not eclipse because of anyone’s death or life, rather both are signs from Allah Almighty. When you see either of them (in the state of eclipse), then perform prayer." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The command to perform prayer at the time of a solar or lunar eclipse means that if either one of them is eclipsed, prayer should be performed. It is not the case that the command to perform prayer is only when both are eclipsed at the same time.
Hadith 2829
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : انْكَسَفَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ، فَإِذَا انْكَسَفَ أَحَدُهُمَا ، فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : أَمَرَ فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ بِالصَّلاةِ عِنْدَ كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ ، وَهُوَ الْمَقْصُودُ ، فَأَطْلَقَ هَذَا الْمَقْصُودَ عَلَى سَبَبِهِ وَهُوَ الْمَسَاجِدُ ، لأَنَّ الصَّلاةَ تَتَّصِلُ فِيهَا لا أَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ يُسْتَغْنَى بِحُضُورِهَا عِنْدَ كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ أَوِ الْقَمَرِ دُونَ الصَّلاةِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: During the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was a solar eclipse. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and we stood up following him. Then he said: "O people! Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. If either of them is eclipsed, then come to the mosques (that is, perform the eclipse prayer)." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) In this narration, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded to perform prayer at the time of a solar or lunar eclipse, and this is the intended purpose. So here, the purpose has been mentioned in absolute terms with its cause, and that is the mosques, because prayer is performed in the mosque. It is not that merely coming to the mosque at the time of a solar or lunar eclipse will suffice if the prayer is not performed.
