1262. It was narrated that Nu'mān bin Bashir said: "The sun was eclipsed at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he came out alarmed, dragging his lower garment, until he reached the mosque. He continued to perform prayer until the eclipse was over, then he said: 'Some people claim that the sun and moon only become eclipsed because of the death of a great leader. That is not so. The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. When Allāh manifests Himself to anything in His
creation, it humbles itself before Him.''' (Da'if)

Commentary
a. The Prophet's coming out of the house 'dragging his lower garment' means his coming out in great haste, so much so that he even adjusted his garment after he had come out of the house.
b. The Prophet ﷺ used to recite for a long time, bow for a long time and prostrate for a long time whenever there was a solar or lunar eclipse.
