عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم بِالنَّاسِ، فَقَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ وَهْوَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَأَطَالَ الرُّكُوعَ، وَهْوَ دُونَ الرُّكُوعِ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ فِي الأُولَى، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدِ انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ، لاَ يَنْخَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ وَكَبّرُوا، وَصَلُّوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا. ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَزْنِيَ عَبْدُهُ أَوْ تَزْنِيَ أَمَتُهُ، يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلاً وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا.
Hazrat Aishara narrated, “During the lifetime of Allah’s Messengersa the sun eclipsed, so he led the people in prayer: He stood up and performed a long qiyam, then bowed for a long while. He stood up again and performed a long qiyam, but this qiyam was shorter than the first one. He bowed again for a long time, but shorter than the first one, and then he prostrated and prolonged the prostration. He did the same in the second rak‘ah as he did in the first and then finished the prayer. By then, the solar (eclipse) had cleared. He delivered the sermon and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said, ‘The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse upon the death or life [i.e., birth] of anyone. So when you see [an eclipse], remember Allah, extol his greatness, observe the salat and give charity.’ The Prophetsa then said, ‘O followers of Muhammad! By Allah! There is none who has a greater sense of ghirah than Allah, [as He has forbidden] that His slaves, male or female, commit zina (illegal sexual intercourse). O followers of Muhammad! By Allah! If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much.’”
