Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثُمَّ الْخَطْمِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَوْجَاءِ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ قَالَ كَسَفَتْ الشَّمْسُ فِي عَهْدِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عُثْمَانُ فَدَخَلَ دَارَهُ وَجَلَسَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ وَجَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ عِنْدَ كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ قَدْ أَصَابَهُمَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهَا إِنْ كَانَتْ الَّتِي تَحْذَرُونَ كَانَتْ وَأَنْتُمْ عَلَى غَيْرِ غَفْلَةٍ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ خَيْرًا وَاكْتَسَبْتُمُوهُ.
English Translation
Ya'qub told us: my father told us, from Ibn Ishaq: al-Harith ibn Fudayl al-Ansari, then al-Khatmi, told us, from Sufyan ibn Abi al-Awja' al-Sulami, from Abu Shurayh al-Khuza'i, who said: The sun was eclipsed in the time of Uthman ibn Affan, while Abdullah ibn Mas'ud was in Medina. Uthman went out and led the people in that prayer, two rak'ahs with two prostrations in each rak'ah. Then Uthman withdrew and entered his house, and Abdullah ibn Mas'ud sat by the chamber of Aisha, and we sat with him, and he said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command us to pray at the eclipse of the sun and the moon, and if you see that it has befallen them, hasten to prayer, for if it is what you fear, it will befall you while you are not heedless, and if it is not, you will have gained good and earned it."
