1501. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "There was an eclipse of the sun during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He stood and prayed, standing for a very long time, then he bowed for a very long time. Then he stood up and (remained standing) for a very long time, but shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a very long time, but shorter than the first time. Then he prostrated, then he raised his head and stood for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time but it was shorter than the first time. Then he stood up and (remained standing) for a long time, but it was shorter than the first time. Then he bowed for a long time but it was shorter than the first time. Then he prostrated, and when he finished his prayer, the eclipse had ended. He addressed the people and praised and glorified Allāh, then he said: 'The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then pray, give in charity and remember Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime.' And he said: 'O Ummah of Muḥammad! There is no one who is more jealous than Allāh when His male or female slave commits Zina. O Ummah of Muḥammad, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much.'" (Ṣaḥīh)
