حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ
كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَدَخَلْنَا فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ ﷺ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ

We were with Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the sun eclipsed. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up dragging his cloak till he entered the Mosque. He led us in a two-rakʿat prayer till the sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's death. So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over."
