I heard Ubaid bin Umair say: 'Someone whom I trust'- and I think he meant Aishah- told me: There was an eclipse of the sun during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He led the people in prayer and stood for a very long time, then he bowed, then he stood, then he bowed, then he stood, then he bowed. He prayed two rak'ahs, bowing three times in each rak'ah. After bowing for the third time he prostrated for a long time. Some men fainted on that day and had to be revived by having buckets of water thrown over them, because of having stood for so log. When he bowed, he said: Allahu Akbar, and when he raised his head, he said: Sami' Allahu lima hamidah.He did not finish until the eclipse had ended. Then he stood and praised and glorified Allah (SWT) and said: The sun and moon do not eclipse for the death or birth of anyone, but they are two of the signs of Allah (SWT) with which He strikes fear unto you. If they are eclipsed then turn to the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, until it (the eclipse) is over.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna dia berkata; Telah menceritakan kepada kami Mu'adz bin Hisyam dia berkata; Bapakku telah menceritakan kepadaku dari Qatadah dari Abu Qilabah dari Qabishah Al Hilali matahari mengalami gerhana maka Nabi Shallalahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam shalat dua raka'at dua raka'at hingga matahari terang kembali. Kemudian beliau bersabda: Matahari dan bulan tidak mengalami gerhana karena kematian seseorang akan tetapi keduanya adalah dua tanda dari tanda-tanda kebesaran Allah. Allah Azza Wa Jalla berbuat sesuatu terhadap ciptaan-Nya sesuai dengan kehendak-NYA. Dan Dia apabila menampakkan sebagian dari ciptaan-NYA maka akan membuat takut kepada-NYA mana saja di antara keduanya mengalami gerhana maka shalatlah kalian hingga terang kembali atau Allah memutuskan perkara.
