"عَنِ النعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِير قَالَ: انْكَسَفت الشَّمسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رسُولِ الله ﷺ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّى رَكعَتَيْنِ وَيُسَلِّمُ، ويُصَلِّى رَكعَتَيْنِ وَيُسَلِّمُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ، فقَالَ: إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انكَسَفَا أَوْ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعظماء وليس كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُما خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ الله، فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى الله لِشَئٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ".

"From al-Nuʿmān b. Bashīr, who said: The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he would pray two rakʿahs and give the salām, and pray two rakʿahs and give the salām, until it cleared. Then he said: Some men claim that when the sun and the moon, or one of them, are eclipsed, it is only eclipsed because of the death of a great one among the great ones. It is not so. Rather, they are two creations from among the creations of Allah. So when Allah manifests Himself to any of His creation, it humbles itself before Him."
