أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ قَالَ
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ مِنَ الْعَجَلَةِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ فَلَمَّا انْجَلَتْ خَطَبَنَا فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ يُخَوِّفُ اللهُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ كُسُوفَ أَحَدِهِمَا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ»

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ when the sun eclipsed. He stood up and went to the mosque, dragging his cloak in haste. The people stood up to him, and he prayed two rak'ahs as you pray. When it cleared, he addressed us and said: 'The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah, with which Allah frightens His servants. They do not eclipse for the death of anyone. So when you see the eclipse of one of them, pray and supplicate until what is upon you is removed.'
