Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to me: Yahya narrated to us, from Ismaʿil, who said: Qays narrated to me, from Abu Masʿud (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: ‘The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of anyone’s death or life. They are two signs among Allah’s signs. When you see them, pray.’
