1060. Narrated Al-Mughīra bin Shu‘ba: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: On the day of Ibrāhīm’s death, the sun eclipsed and the people said that the eclipse was due to the death of Ibrāhīm (the son of the Prophet ﷺ). Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the signs of Allāh. They do not eclipse because of someone’s death or life (i.e., birth). So when you see them, invoke Allāh and offer Ṣalāt (prayer) till the eclipse has cleared."
1060 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عِلاَقَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ المُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ، يَقُولُ: انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: انْكَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ، لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا، فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ وَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَ»
