حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَامَ، فَكَبَّرَ، وَصَفَّ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، فَكَبَّرَ وَاقْتَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ "، فَقَامَ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ، فَاقْتَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا هُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ "، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَاسْتَكْمَلَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ، وَانْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ، فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا هُمَا (١) آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، لَا يُخَسَفَانِ (٢) لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ، وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا، فَافْزَعُوا لِلصَّلَاةِ (٣) "، وَكَانَ كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِثْلَ مَا حَدَّثَ عُرْوَةُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ لِعُرْوَةَ: فَإِنَّ أَخَاكَ يَوْمَ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِثْلَ صَلَاةِ، ، الصُّبْحِ، فَقَالَ: " أَجَلْ، إِنَّهُ أَخْطَأَ السُّنَّةَ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once during the Prophethood, there was a solar eclipse. The Prophet (ﷺ) reached the prayer place and began to pray, standing for a long time, then he bowed (ruku) and performed a long bowing, then before going into prostration (sajdah), he raised his head and stood for a long time, though this standing was shorter than the first one. Then he bowed again and performed a long bowing, though this bowing was shorter than the first one. Then he prostrated. Then he stood up for the second rak'ah and did the same as he had done in the first rak'ah, except that in this rak'ah, the first standing was longer than the second, and the first bowing was longer than the second. In this way, the Prophet (ﷺ) completed the prayer, and by then the solar eclipse had ended. Then he said: The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse because of anyone's life or death. Therefore, when this happens, immediately turn towards prayer.
