(1). 3285. Ibn Mas'ūd, may Allāh be pleased with him, said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in Minā, when the moon was cleft asunder into two parts. Part of it was behind the mountain, and part of it before it. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to us: 'Bear witness' meaning: The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder."[1] (Sahih) [He said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.

٣٢٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنِ ‌الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ ‌إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: «بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِنًى» فَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ فِلْقَتَيْنِ: فِلْقَةٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجَبَلِ، وَفِلْقَةٌ دُونَهُ، فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اشْهَدُوا. يَعْنِي: {اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ} هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

In these days, if such supernatural events take place on the land and in the other parts of the universe, the investigating organisations and institutes of the whole world immediately become active to research. Its news reaches like an electric wave in all the corners of the world. But these sources and means of research and news did not exist in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ therefore the news would remain in the limited circle. The people normally used to stay in their homes at night, and they would not look up in the sky. Even in these days, if the moon gets eclipsed, many people do not know about it.
