Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا " .
Translation
Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim narrated to us; he said: Yahya narrated to us, from Isma‘il, who said: Qays narrated to me, from Abu Mas‘ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The sun and the moon are not eclipsed because of anyone’s death. Rather, they are two of Allah, Mighty and Sublime’s signs. When you see them, pray.”
