Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ " .
Translation
Qutaybah narrated to us; he said: Hammad narrated to us, from Yunus, from Al-Hasan, from Abu Bakrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The sun and the moon are two of Allah Most High’s signs. They do not undergo an eclipse because of anyone’s death or birth. Rather, Allah, Mighty and Sublime, frightens His servants through them.”
