English translation

1063. Narrated Abū Bakra رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: In the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ the sun eclipsed and he went out dragging his clothes till he reached the mosque. The people gathered around him and he led them [in Ṣalāt (prayers)] and offered two Rak'ā. When the sun (eclipse) cleared, he said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the signs of Allāh; they do not eclipse because of the death of someone, and so when an eclipse occurs, offer Ṣalāt and invoke Allāh till the eclipse has cleared." It happened that a son of the Prophet ﷺ called Ibrāhīm died on that day and the people were talking about that (saying that the eclipse was caused by his death).

1063 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجَ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ، حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى المَسْجِدِ وَثَابَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ، فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَانْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ، وَإِنَّهُمَا لاَ يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ، وَإِذَا كَانَ ذَاكَ فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ» وَذَاكَ أَنَّ ابْنًا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَاتَ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ فِي ذَاكَ
