عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ، يَقُولُ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ انْكَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ، لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ وَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَ ”.
Hazrat Mughirah bin Shubahra narrated, “The sun was eclipsed on the day Ibrahim [the son of the Holy Prophetsa] passed away. People said that the sun had eclipsed because of Ibrahim’s death. Thereupon, the Prophetsa said, ‘The sun and the moon are two signs from among the signs of Allah. They do not undergo eclipse because of anyone’s death or life. So when you see them, supplicate to Allah and offer salat until it becomes clear again.’”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-kusuf, Bab ad-du‘a’i fi l-khusuf, Hadith 1060)
