1053. Narrated Fāṭima bint Al-Munḍhir : Asmā' bint Abī Bakr said, "I came to 'Aishah رضي الله عنها the wife of the Prophet ﷺ during the solar eclipse. The people were standing and offering the Ṣalāt (prayer) and she was also offering Ṣalāt (prayer). I asked her, 'What has happened to the people?' She pointed out with her hand towards the sky and said, 'Subḥān Allāh'. I said, 'Is there a sign?" She requested in the affirmative." Asmā' further said, "I too then stood up for the Ṣalāt (prayer) till I felt dizziness and then I poured water on my head. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had finished his Ṣalāt (prayer), he thanked and praised Allāh and said, 'I have seen, at this place of mine what I have never, I have seen even Paradise and Hell. No doubt, it has been revealed to me that you will be put to trial in the graves like or nearly like the trial of (Al-Masīh) Ad-Dajjāl. (I do not know which one of the two Asmā' said.) (The angels) will come to everyone of you and will ask: What do you know about this man (i.e. Muḥammad ﷺ)? The believer or a firm believer (I do not know which word Asmā' said) will reply: He is Muḥammad, Allāh's Messenger, who came to us with clear evidences and guidance, so we accepted his teachings, believed and followed him. The angels will then say to him: Sleep peacefully as we knew surely that you were a firm believer. The hypocrite or doubtful person (I do not know which word Asmā' said) will say: I do not know. I heard the people saying something so I said it (the same).'" (See H. No. 1338).
