1044. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: In the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, the sun eclipsed, so he led the people in Salāt (prayer), and stood up and performed a long Qiyām, then bowed for a long while. He stood up again and performed a long Qiyām, but this time the period of standing was shorter than the first. He bowed again for a long time but shorter than the first one, then he prostrated and prolonged the prostration (twice). He did the same in the second Rak'a as he did in the first and then finished the Salāt (prayer); by then the sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then he delivered a Khutba (religious talk) and after praising and glorifying Allāh he said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the signs of Allāh; they do not eclipse because of the death or the life (i.e. birth) of anyone. So, when you see the eclipse, remember Allāh and say Takbīr, offer Ṣalāt and give Ṣadaqa.” The Prophet ﷺ then said, “O followers of Muḥammad! By Allāh! There is none who has more Ghaira(1) than Allāh, so He has forbidden that His slaves, male or female commit illegal sexual intercourse. O followers of Muḥammad! By Allāh! If you knew that which I know you would laugh little and weep much.
