The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day Ibrāhīm died. The people said: "It was eclipsed because of the death of Ibrāhīm." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. They are not eclipsed for the death of anyone, nor for his life. So when you see it, supplicate to Allah and pray until it clears."
