أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ قَالَ: " انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مَحْمُودٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ. وَهَذَا خَبَرٌ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ ابْنُهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِدَلِيلِ.
Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him): The sun was eclipsed in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) led a prayer of two rak'ahs.
مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ الْخُوَارِزْمِيُّ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ، ثنا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، ثنا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ قَالَ: " كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَثَابَ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَلَمَّا انْكَشَفَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ، وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ ". قَالَ: وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ ابْنًا لَهُ مَاتَ يُقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ نَاسٌ فِي ذَلِكَ. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، إِلَّا أَنَّ أَبَا مَعْمَرٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَهُ: " يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ "، وَقَدْ ذَكَرَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ وَقَوْلُهُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ مَعَ إِخْبَارِهِ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، يُرِيدُ بِهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ ⦗٤٦٢⦘ رُكُوعَيْنِ كَمَا أَثْبَتَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَعَائِشَةُ، وَجَابِرٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، وَرَوَاهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، فَقَالُوا فِي الْحَدِيثِ: فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ..
(a) Al-Hasan narrates from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him): We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when the sun was eclipsed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out dragging his cloak until he reached the mosque. The people also hurried, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in a prayer of two rak'ahs. When the eclipse ended, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. Through them Allah causes His servants to fear. They do not lose their light for anyone's death or life. When you see the sun or the moon eclipsed, pray until what has befallen you is removed." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this when people said that it had happened because of his (peace and blessings be upon him) son Ibrahim.
(b) In another narration it is reported from Abu Ma'mar that he did not mention the words 'through them Allah causes His servants to fear.'
(c) He (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in a prayer of two rak'ahs when his (peace and blessings be upon him) son Ibrahim died. What is meant by this is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two bowings in each rak'ah, as is established from Ibn Abbas, Aishah, Jabir and Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them); but Yazid bin Zuray' and others narrate from Yunus bin Ubayd that they said in the hadith: he prayed two rak'ahs as you pray.

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاضِي، أنبأ أَبُو سَهْلٍ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، ثنا دَاودُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَقَالَ: " كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ ". إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَوْتَ ابْنِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ. وَصَلَاةُ الْخُسُوفِ كَانَتْ مَشْهُورَةً فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهَا، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Yazid bin Zuray' (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Yunus (may Allah have mercy on him): "as you pray," but he did not mention the death of his (peace and blessings be upon him) son. The eclipse prayer was well known among them, so he alluded to it.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ السَّكَنِ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ثنا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ حَيَّانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: " بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَرْمِي بِأَسْهُمٍ لِي فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذِ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَنَبَذْتُهُنَّ وَقُلْتُ: لَأَنْظُرَنَّ مَا يَحْدُثُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ الْيَوْمَ، قَالَ: فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ رَافِعٌ يَدَيْهِ يُسَبِّحُ، وَيَحْمَدُ، وَيُهَلِّلُ، وَيُكَبِّرُ، وَيَدْعُو، حَتَّى حَسَرَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ، فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيِّ. وَقَوْلُهُ: " فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ " يُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُرَادُهُ بِذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ، فَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ أَثْبَتُوهُ، وَالْمُثْبَتُ شَاهِدٌ، فَهُوَ أَوْلَى بِالْقَبُولِ.
(a) Abd al-Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was practising with my arrows during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly the sun was eclipsed. I threw them down and said: "I must see what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does today at the solar eclipse." I reached him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) had raised his hands and was glorifying Allah (tasbih), praising Him (tahmid), declaring His oneness (tahlil), magnifying Him (takbir) and supplicating, until the eclipse ended. He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited two surahs and prayed two rak'ahs.
(b) "He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited two surahs and prayed two rak'ahs": this may mean that he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two bowings in each rak'ah, as has been established.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ بِهَا، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ: " انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ فَزِعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ، فَلَمَّا انْجَلَتْ قَالَ: " إِنَّ نَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ إِلَّا لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعُظَمَاءِ، وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ، إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِذَا تَجَلَّى لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا كَأَحْدَثِ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ ". هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ، أَبُو قِلَابَةَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ إِنَّمَا رَوَاهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةُ الْأَخِيرَةُ.
Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The sun was eclipsed in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the mosque alarmed, dragging his garment. He (peace and blessings be upon him) remained engaged in prayer until the sun became bright. When the sun became bright, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People think that the sun and the moon lose their light only for the death of some great person, but it is not so. The sun and the moon do not lose their light for anyone's death or life; rather, they are two of the signs of Allah. When Allah manifests Himself to anything of His creation, it humbles itself before Him. When you see them (eclipsed), pray like the obligatory prayer."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ: " كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيُسَلِّمُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا كَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا: إِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ، وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللهُ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا ". وَرَوَاهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ فِيهِ: فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَأَلَ عَنْهَا حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ. وَرَوَاهُ الْحَسَنُ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ خَالِيًا عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأَلْفَاظِ الَّتِي تُوهِمُ خِلَافًا، وَخَالِيًا عَنْ لَفْظِ التَّجَلِّي.
Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The sun was eclipsed in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed two rak'ahs and gave the salam, then prayed two rak'ahs and gave the salam, until the sun became bright. In the Jahiliyyah, people used to say that when the sun loses its light, it is because of the death of some great person among the people of the earth. (He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "But the matter is not so; rather, these two are among the creations of Allah. When Allah manifests Himself to anything of His creation, it fears Him. So when you see that, pray."

He (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed until the sun became bright, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the Jahiliyyah people used to say that the sun and the moon lose their light only because of some great person among the people of the earth, whereas the sun and the moon do not lose their light for anyone's death, for they are both creations of Allah, and Allah does in His creation whatever He wills. So whichever of them loses its light, pray until it becomes bright, or until Allah brings about some other matter."
This is more likely to be the preserved (mahfuz) version; it has also been said: from Abu Qilabah from Qabisah al-Hilali.

Qabisah al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The sun was eclipsed in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in a prayer of two rak'ahs and prolonged the standing in those two rak'ahs. The narrator says: The sun became bright, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These are signs through which Allah causes His servants to fear. So when you see them, pray as you pray the obligatory prayer."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا رَيْحَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّ قَبِيصَةَ الْهِلَالِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ: أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ كَسَفَتْ. بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ. قَالَ: حَتَّى بَدَتِ النُّجُومُ. ⦗٤٦٥⦘ فَأَلْفَاظُ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ تَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّهَا رَاجِعَةٌ إِلَى الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ صَلَاتِهِ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ ابْنُهُ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ، وَقَدْ أَثْبَتَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْحُفَّاظِ عَدَدَ رُكُوعِهِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ، فَهُوَ أَوْلَى بِالْقَبُولِ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ مَنْ لَمْ يُثْبِتْهُ، وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ. وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ احْتِجَاجَ مَنِ احْتَجَّ بِحَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِي الْكُسُوفِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ نَحْوًا مِنْ صَلَاتِكُمْ ". وَحَدِيثُ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ فِي مَعْنَاهُ، وَذَلِكَ يَرِدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى، وَحَدِيثُ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، ثُمَّ رَجَّحَ أَحَادِيثَنَا بِأَنَّ الْجَائِيَّ بِالزِّيَادَةِ أَوْلَى أَنْ يُقْبَلَ قَوْلُهُ، لِأَنَّهُ أَثْبَتُ مَا لَمْ يَثْبُتِ الَّذِي نَقَصَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَبِأَنَّ إِسْنَادَنَا فِي حَدِيثِنَا مِنْ أَثْبَتِ إِسْنَادِ النَّاسِ. أَخْبَرَنَا بِذَلِكَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أَنْبَأَ الرَّبِيعُ عَنِ الشَّافِعِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
(a) Qabisah al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, with the meaning of the hadith of Musa bin Isma'il, that the sun was eclipsed until the stars appeared. The wording of all these hadiths indicates that they refer to the prayer the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered on the day his son Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him) died. A group of the companions of the hadith masters affirmed the number of his bowings in each rak'ah, so their narration is more worthy of acceptance than the narration of whoever did not affirm it.
(b) Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned the argument of those who argued from the hadith of Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the eclipse prayer as two rak'ahs "like your prayer", from the hadith of Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him), which has the same meaning, and from the hadith of Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he gave preference to our hadiths, because the one who brings an addition is more worthy of having his word accepted, since he affirms what the one who shortened the hadith did not affirm, and because the chain of our hadith is among the most established chains.
