[2091] 3 - (...) It was narrated that 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: "The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out to the Masjid and stood and said the Takbīr, and the people
formed rows behind him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ recited for a long time, then he said the Takbîr and bowed for a long time. Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah; rabbanâ lakal-ḥamd (Allâh hears those who praise Him; our Lord, to You be praise.)' Then he stood and recited for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he said the Takbîr and bowed for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he said: 'Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah; rabbanâ lakal-ḥamd (Allâh hears those who praise Him; our Lord, to You be praise.)' Then he prostrated - Abû Aṭ-Ṭâhir (one of the narrators) did not say: "then he prostrated" - "then he did likewise in the second Rak'ah, until he had completed four bowings and four prostrations, and the eclipse ended before he finished the prayer. Then he stood and addressed the people. He praised Allâh as He deserves to be praised, then he said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allâh, and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that, then hasten to pray.' He also said: 'Pray until Allâh grants you relief.' And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'While I was standing, I saw everything that
you have been promised; I even saw myself wanting to take a bunch of grapes from Paradise when you saw me stepping forward. And I saw Hell, parts of it consuming other parts, when you saw me moving backwards. And I saw therein ‘Amr bin Luhayy, who is the one who established the custom of As-Sâ'ib.”[1] The narration of Abû Aṭ-Ṭâhir ends with the words, “then hasten to pray,” and he did not mention what comes after that.

3 - (901) حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَامَ وَكَبَّرَ، وَصَفَّ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، فَاقْتَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ»، ثُمَّ قَامَ، فَاقْتَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا هُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ»، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ - وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ: ثُمَّ سَجَدَ - ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى اسْتَكْمَلَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ، وَانْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ، وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَافْزَعُوا لِلصَّلَاةِ»، وَقَالَ أَيْضًا: «فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُفَرِّجَ اللهُ عَنْكُمْ»، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " رَأَيْتُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وُعِدْتُمْ، حَتَّى لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أُرِيدُ أَنْ آخُذَ قِطْفًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي جَعَلْتُ أُقَدِّمُ - وقَالَ الْمُرَادِيُّ: أَتَقَدَّمُ - وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ جَهَنَّمَ يَحْطِمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا، حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي تَأَخَّرْتُ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا ابْنَ لُحَيٍّ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ «. وَانْتَهَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي الطَّاهِرِ عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ» فَافْزَعُوا لِلصَّلَاةِ "، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَا بَعْدَهُ
