It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the sun was eclipsed on the day when the beloved son of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), passed away. So the people thought that the eclipse of the sun occurred because of his death. Thereupon, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up (to address the people) and said: "O people, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse because of anyone's death or life. Therefore, when you see an eclipse, hasten to perform prayer, rush towards the remembrance of Allah, make supplication, and give charity."
