English translation
[2117] 24 - (912) It was narrated that Abû Mûsâ said: “The sun was eclipsed at the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and he got up in a state of anxiety, thinking that it was the Hour. He came to the Masjid and started to pray, standing, bowing and prostrating for the longest time that I ever saw him do so in any prayer. Then he said: "These signs that Allâh has sent do not occur for the death or birth of anyone, rather Allâh sends them to cause fear in His slaves. If you see any of them, then hasten to remember Him, call upon Him and ask Him for forgiveness." According to the report of Ibn Al-'Alâ': The sun was eclipsed and he said: "Causing fear in His slaves."
