English translation
[2100] 9 - (904) It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "The sun was eclipsed at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on a very hot day. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ led his Companions in prayer, and he stood for such a long time that they began to fall down. Then he bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and stood for a long time, then he prostrated twice, then he stood up and did the same again. There were four bowings and four prostrations. Then he said: 'Everything that you are going to enter was shown to me. Paradise was shown to me, and if I had wanted to take a bunch of grapes from it, I could have' - or 'I tried to take a bunch of grapes from it, but my arm couldn't reach. And Hell was shown to me, and I saw therein a woman from the Children of Israel who was being punished because of a cat that belonged to her; she tied it up and did not feed it, nor did she let it eat from the vermin of the earth. And I saw Abû Thumâmah 'Amr bin Mâlik dragging his intestines in Hell. They used to say that the sun and moon only became eclipsed because of the death of a great man, but they are two of the signs of Allâh that He has shown to you, so when they become eclipsed, pray until it is over.”
