Ash-Shama'il al-Muhammadiyah 323

Translation

"The sun was eclipsed one day in the era of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ, so Allah’s Messenger ﷺ stood performing the ritual prayer, until he could hardly bow down, then he bowed down and could hardly raise his head, then he raised his head and could hardly prostrate himself, then he prostrated himself and could hardly raise his head, so he began to gasp and weep, saying: 'O my Lord, have You not promised me that You will not torment them while I am among them? O my Lord, have You not promised me that You will not torment them while they and we are appealing to You for forgiveness?' Then, once he had performed two cycles of ritual prayer, the sun became visible, so he stood up, praised Allah (Exalted is He) and extolled Him. Then he said: 'The sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah. They are not eclipsed because of someone’s death, nor because of his coming to life, so when they are eclipsed, you must seek refuge in the remembrance of Allah (Exalted is He)!'”

  عطاء بن السائب مختلف فيه في الاحتجاج به وقد اختلط في آخر عمره لكن أورده ابن خزيمة من رواية سفيان الثوري عنه وهو ممن سمع منه قبل اختلاطه وأبوه وثقه العجلي وابن حبان

  machine translationʿAṭāʾ b. al-Sāʾib is disputed as to whether he can be used as evidence, and he became confused (ikhtalaṭa) at the end of his life. However, Ibn Khuzaymah reported it from the narration of Sufyān al-Thawrī from him, and he is among those who heard from him before his confusion. As for his father, al-ʿIjlī and Ibn Ḥibbān declared him trustworthy (thiqah). Report a problem
