Bayhaqi 6361 — The sermon after the eclipse prayer

Tha'labah bin Ibad al-Abdi of Basrah attended a sermon of Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) one day. He said: One day, in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I and the boys of the Ansar were shooting at a target, when the sun, at the edge of the sky, was at the height of two or three spears, and the sun had lost its light. One of us said to his companion: "Come with us to the mosque. By Allah, this sun has brought about something new for the Ummah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." We went back towards the mosque. Suddenly the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also appeared, and we came upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) just as he (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to the people. The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) came forward and led us in prayer. He stood so long that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had never before made us stand so long, and his (peace and blessings be upon him) voice could not be heard. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) had us bow for a time longer than he ever had before. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) had us prostrate, so long that he had never before had us prostrate so long, and his (peace and blessings be upon him) voice could not be heard. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) did the same in the second rak'ah, and he remained sitting in the second rak'ah until the sun became bright. The narrator said: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) concluded with the salam. He praised and extolled Allah and bore witness that there is no god but Allah and that he is His servant and Messenger. Then he said: "O people! I am a human being and I am the Messenger of Allah. I remind you of Allah: if you know that I have fallen short in conveying the messages of my Lord, then tell me, so that I may convey the messages of my Lord as they ought to be conveyed. And if you know that I have conveyed the messages of my Lord, then tell me." The narrator said: The people stood up and said: We bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord, sincerely advised your Ummah and fulfilled the duty that was upon you (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator said: Then they all fell silent. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People think that this eclipse of the moon and the sun, and the disappearance of the stars from their rising places, happens because of the death of some great person among the people of the earth, yet they lie. Rather, these are among the signs of Allah by which Allah tests His servants, to see who repents to Him. By Allah, since I stood up for the prayer I have seen everything that you are going to meet in this world and in the Hereafter. And by Allah, the Hour will not be established until thirty liars come forth. The last of them will be the Dajjal, blind in the left eye."
"His eye will be like the eye of Abu Yahya, an old man of the Ansar. When he comes forth, he will claim that he is Allah. Whoever believes in him, affirms him and follows him, his earlier good deeds will not benefit him; and whoever rejects him and denies him will not be punished for his earlier bad deeds. He will prevail over the whole earth except the Haram and Bayt al-Maqdis, and the believers will gather in Bayt al-Maqdis. Then there will be severe earthquakes, and Allah will defeat him and his army, until, if someone is behind a wall or hiding behind a tree, that wall and tree will say: 'O believer! This disbeliever is hiding behind me, so kill him.'" The narrator said that he (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) said: "That will never happen until you see matters whose gravity grows in your hearts, and you ask one another: 'Did your Prophet mention anything of this to you?' And until mountains move from their fixed places; then after that comes death."
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand. Then I attended another sermon, and he mentioned this hadith again without putting anything before or after its place.
