Sunan an-Nasa'i 1472

Muhammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Ibn Wahb, from Yunus, from Ibn Shihab, who said: ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr informed me, from ‘A’ishah, who said: The sun was eclipsed during the Messenger of Allah’s (peace and blessings be upon him) lifetime. He stood and proclaimed Allah’s greatness, and the people formed rows behind him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited at length, then proclaimed Allah’s greatness and bowed for a long time. He raised his head and said, “Allah listens to whoever praises Him. Our Lord, to You belongs all praise.” He then stood and recited at length, though less than his first recitation. He proclaimed Allah’s greatness and bowed for a long time, though less than his first bowing. Then he said, “Allah listens to whoever praises Him. Our Lord, to You belongs all praise,” and prostrated. He did the same in the other rak‘ah, completing four bowings and four prostrations. The sun cleared before he departed. Then he stood and addressed the people, praising Allah, Mighty and Sublime, as He deserves, and said: “The sun and the moon are two of Allah Most High’s signs. They are not eclipsed because of anyone’s death or life. When you see them, pray until you are relieved of the eclipse.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: “From where I stand now, I have seen everything you were promised. When you saw me move forward, I wanted to take a cluster of fruit from Paradise. And I saw Hell: parts of it were crushing one another. When you saw me step back, I had seen that. And I saw Ibn Luhayy there; he was the one who set loose the sa’ibah.”
