English Translation

Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that there was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and he was not going to perform bowing till he bowed; and he was not going to raise his head till he raised (after bowing); and he was not going to prostrate himself till he prostrated himself; and he was not going to raise his head till he raised (at the end of prostration); he did similarly in the second rak'ah, he then puffed in the last prostration saying; Fie, Fie! He then said: My Lord, didst Thou not promise me that Thou wouldst not punish them so long as I will remain among them? Didst Thou not promise me that Thou will not punish them so long as they continue to beg pardon of Thee. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, and the sun was clear. The narrator then narrated the tradition (in full)
