Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1400 — 656| Command to give charity at the solar
نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، نَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأُوَيْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ كَسَفَتْ يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَظَنَّ النَّاسُ أَنَّهَا كَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِهِ ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لا يَكْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلا لِحَيَاتِهِ ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلاةِ ، وَإِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَادْعُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا "
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."
