English translation

1058. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ the sun eclipsed and the Prophet ﷺ stood up to offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) with the people and recited a long recitation, then he performed a prolonged bowing; and then lifted his head and recited a prolonged recitation which was shorter than the first. Then he performed a prolonged bowing which was shorter than the first and then lifted his head up and performed two prostrations. He then stood up for the second Rak'a and offered it like the first. Then (after finishing the Ṣalāt) he stood up and said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's life (i.e., birth) or death but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allāh which He shows to His worshippers. So whenever you see them, make haste for the Ṣalāt (prayer).”

1058 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ، فَأَطَالَ القِرَاءَةَ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ، فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَأَطَالَ القِرَاءَةَ وَهِيَ دُونَ قِرَاءَتِهِ الأُولَى، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ، فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ دُونَ رُكُوعِهِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ، فَصَنَعَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالقَمَرَ لاَ يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُرِيهِمَا عِبَادَهُ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ، فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ»
