أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَسْرُوقِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ
خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَزِعًا يَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ السَّاعَةُ فَقَامَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي بِأَطْوَلِ قِيَامٍ وَرُكُوعٍ وَسُجُودٍ رَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُهُ فِي صَلَاةٍ قَطُّ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي يُرْسِلُ اللهُ لَا تَكُونُ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ يُرْسِلُهَا يُخَوِّفُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِهِ وَدُعَائِهِ وَاسْتِغْفَارِهِ»

✧ The sun eclipsed, and the Prophet ﷺ stood up in alarm, fearing that it might be the Hour. He stood until he came to the mosque, then stood to pray with the longest standing, bowing, and prostration that I ever saw him do in any prayer. Then he said: 'These signs that Allah sends are not for the death of anyone nor for his life, but Allah sends them to frighten His servants by them. So when you see any of them, hasten to His remembrance, supplication, and seeking forgiveness.'
