Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَحْطَبَةَ بْنِ مَرْزُوقٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَرَاءَوْنَ الْغُرْفَةَ مِنْ غَرَفِ الْجَنَّةِ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ الدُّرِّيَّ الْغَارِبَ فِي الْأُفُقِ الشَّرْقِيِّ أَوِ الْغَرْبِيِّ»
English Translation
Hadrat 'A'ishah (may Allah be well pleased with her) narrated: The Jews used to say that when there is an eclipse, a great person among the people of the earth dies. So when the sun eclipsed during the time of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), the Beloved Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stood and prayed. He stood for a very long time, then he bowed for a very long time, then he raised his head and stood for a very long time, but less than the first standing. Then he bowed for a very long time, but less than the first bowing. Then he raised his head, then he prostrated for a very long time. Then he did in the second Rak'ah as he did in the first. Then he finished, and the sun had become clear. He stated: "The sun and moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse for the death of anyone nor for his life. When you see that, glorify Allah and pray."
