There is no one who is more jealous than Allāh of His male or female slave commits Zinâ. O Ummah of Muḥammad! If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much. Have I not conveyed (the message)?'"

[2091] 3 - (...) It was narrated that 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: "The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out to the Masjid and stood and said the Takbīr, and the people formed rows behind him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ recited for a long time, then he said the Takbîr and bowed for a long time. Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah; rabbanâ lakal-ḥamd (Allâh hears those who praise Him; our Lord, to You be praise.)' Then he stood and recited for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he said the Takbîr and bowed for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he said: 'Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah; rabbanâ lakal-ḥamd (Allâh hears those who praise Him; our Lord, to You be praise.)' Then he prostrated - Abû Aṭ-Ṭâhir (one of the narrators) did not say: "then he prostrated" - "then he did likewise in the second Rak'ah, until he had completed four bowings and four prostrations, and the eclipse ended before he finished the prayer. Then he stood and addressed the people. He praised Allâh as He deserves to be praised, then he said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allâh, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that, then hasten to pray.' He also said: 'Pray until Allâh grants you relief.' And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'While I was standing, I saw everything that you have been promised; I even saw myself wanting to take a bunch of grapes from Paradise when you saw me stepping forward. And I saw Hell, parts of it consuming other parts, when you saw me moving backwards. And I saw therein ‘Amr bin Luhayy, who is the one who established the custom of As-Sâ'ib.”[1] The narration of Abû Aṭ-Ṭâhir ends with the words, “then hasten to pray,” and he did not mention what comes after that.

Then he bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and stood for a long time, then he prostrated twice, then he stood up and did the same again. There were four bowings and four prostrations. Then he said: 'Everything that you are going to enter was shown to me. Paradise was shown to me, and if I had wanted to take a bunch of grapes from it, I could have' - or 'I tried to take a bunch of grapes from it, but my arm couldn't reach. And Hell was shown to me, and I saw therein a woman from the Children of Israel who was being punished because of a cat that belonged to her; she tied it up and did not feed it, nor did she let it eat from the vermin of the earth. And I saw Abû Thumâmah 'Amr bin Mâlik dragging his intestines in Hell. They used to say that the sun and moon only became eclipsed because of the death of a great man, but they are two of the signs of Allâh that He has shown to you, so when they become eclipsed, pray until it is over.”

[2102] 10 - (...) It was narrated that Jâbir said: “The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on the day when Ibrâhîm, the son of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, died, and the people said: ‘It has become eclipsed because of the death of Ibrâhîm.’ The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up and led the people in praying six Rak'ah with four prostrations. He started by saying the Takbîr, then he recited for a long time, then he bowed for almost as long as he had stood, then he raised his head from bowing and recited for a shorter time than the first time. Then he bowed for almost as long as he had stood, then he raised his head from bowing, and recited for a shorter time than the second time. Then he bowed for almost as long as he had stood, then he raised his head from bowing. Then he went down in prostration and prostrated twice. Then he stood up and performed three more Rak'ah, in which each Rak'ah was shorter than the one that came before it, and the bowing was similar in length to the prostration. Then he moved backwards and the rows behind him also moved backwards, until we could go no further" - Abû Bakr (one of the narrators) said: "until he reached the women." - "Then he moved forward and the people moved forward with him, until he was standing back in his place, and he completed the prayer as it should be completed and the sun had become bright. Then he said: 'O people, the sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allâh and they do not become eclipsed for the death of anyone among the people,' - Abû Bakr said: 'for the death of any human being.' - 'If you see anything of that nature, then pray until it is over. There is nothing that you have been promised but I saw it during this prayer of mine. Hell was brought and that is when you saw me moving backwards for fear that its flames might touch me. I saw therein the owner of the curved staff, dragging his intestines in the Fire; he used to steal from the pilgrims with his curved staff, and if he was discovered he would say: "It got caught on my curved staff," but if he was not noticed then he would take it. And I saw therein the woman who had a cat which she tied up and did not feed, and she did not let it eat from the vermin of the earth, until it died of starvation. Then Paradise was brought to me, and that is when you saw me move forward until I was back in my place. I stretched out my hand and I wanted to pick some of its fruits so that you could see them, then I thought that I should not do that. And there is nothing that you have been promised but I saw it during this prayer of mine."

And she gestured towards the sky with her head.' I said: 'Is it a sign?' She said: 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood for a very long time, until I was about to faint. I took hold of a vessel of water that was by my side and started to pour it over my head or my face. No sooner had the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ finished praying but the sun became clear. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ addressed the people, praising and glorifying Allāh, then he said: 'There is nothing that I had not seen before but I saw it during this standing of mine, even Paradise and Hell. It was revealed to me that you will be tested in your graves with something close to - or like - the tribulation of the Dajjāl.'" - "I (the narrator) do not know which one Asmā' said." - "Someone will come to one of you and will say: "What do you know about this man?" The believer, or, the one who has certain faith'" - I do not know which one Asmā' said - "will say: "He is Muḥammad, he is the Messenger of Allāh; he came to us with clear signs and guidance, and we responded and obeyed, three times." Then it will be said to him: "Sleep, for we knew that you believed in him. Sleep the sleep of the righteous." As for the hypocrite or the doubter'" - I do not know which one Asmā' said - "he will say: "I do not know, I heard the people saying something so I said it."
