Hadith #590
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا قَالَ وَحَدَّثَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ كَسَفَتْ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّه
ِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ أَوْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّ ذَاكَ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ

English Translation
ʿAffān narrated to us, ʿAbd al-Wārith narrated to us, Ayyūb narrated to us — and he mentioned a hadith — and narrated from Abū Qilābah, from a man, from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه who said: 'The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He would pray two rakʿahs then ask, then pray two rakʿahs then ask, until the sun cleared.' He said: 'People of the Jāhiliyyah used to say — or claim — that the sun and moon are eclipsed because of the death of a great person among the people of the earth. That is not so. They are two creations of Allah. When Allah عز وجل manifests Himself to anything in His creation, it submits to Him.'
