English translation

[2096] 6 - (901) It was narrated from 'Aṭâ': 'Ubaid bin 'Umar said: 'One whom I regard as truthful' - I think he meant 'Aishah - 'told me that the sun was eclipsed at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he stood for a very long time: "He stood then he bowed, then he stood, then he bowed, then he stood, then he bowed; two Rak'ah with three bowings and four prostrations. When he finished, the eclipse had ended. When he bowed he said: "Allâhu akbar," and when he raised his head he said: "Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah (Allâh hears those who praise Him)." Then he stood and praised and glorified Allâh, then he said: "The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. Rather they are signs of Allâh with which Allâh creates fear in His slaves, so if you see them being eclipsed, remember Allâh until the eclipse is over."

Arabic text

6 - (901) وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ أُصَدِّقُ، حَسِبْتُهُ يُرِيدُ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ انْكَسَفَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَامَ قِيَامًا شَدِيدًا، يَقُومُ قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي ثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَأَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ، فَانْصَرَفَ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ، قَالَ: «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ»، ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، قَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ»، فَقَامَ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَا يَكْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ، وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ كُسُوفًا، فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَا»
