Praying During Solar and Lunar Eclipses

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that when there is an eclipse of the sun or the moon, one should pray like they did for their last obligatory prayer.

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ فَصَلُّوا كَأَحْدَثِ صَلاَةٍ صَلَّيْتُمُوهَا

Pray like you did for your last obligatory prayer during solar/lunar eclipses.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when there is an eclipse of either the sun or the moon, we should pray as we did for our last obligatory prayer. An-Nu'man bin Bashir narrated this hadith from Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Solar and lunar eclipses are natural phenomena which occur due to a variety of reasons. In Islam, it is believed that these events are signs from Allah and thus Muslims must take them seriously by praying during them. This hadith encourages us to do so in order to show our respect for Allah's signs and also to seek His mercy and forgiveness. It also reminds us of how important it is to stay consistent in our prayers even during times of difficulty or change.
