Sunan an-Nasai 1499 (Book 16, Hadith 41) #16110
Praying During Solar Eclipse

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) prayed during a solar eclipse and taught that people will be tested in their graves.

'Aishah said: "The Prophet went out and the sun became eclipsed. We went out to the apartment and some women gathered around us. The Messenger of Allah turned to us, and that was at the time of the forenoon. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and stood for a shorter time than the first, then he bowed for a shorter time than the first, then he prostrated. Then he stood up again and did the same, except that he stood and bowed for a shorter time than in the first rak'ah. Then he prostrated and the eclipse ended. When he had finished he sat on the minbar and among the things he said was : 'The people will be tried in their graves like the trial of the Dajjal'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ خَرَجَ مَخْرَجًا فَخُسِفَ بِالشَّمْسِ فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْنَا نِسَاءٌ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَذَلِكَ ضَحْوَةً فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ دُونَ رُكُوعِهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّ قِيَامَهُ وَرُكُوعَهُ دُونَ الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَتَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ كَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ مُخْتَصَرٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's prayer during a solar eclipse. It was narrated by Aishah who said that the Prophet went out when the sun became eclipsed and gathered with some women. He stood for a long time then bowed for a long time before raising his head and standing again for shorter times than before. He then prostrated and the eclipse ended after he finished praying. After this he sat on the minbar and among other things said that people will be tried in their graves like the trial of Dajjal. This hadith teaches us to remember Allah even in difficult times such as an eclipse or any other calamity as it is an opportunity to seek His mercy and forgiveness through prayer. It also teaches us about life after death where we will be tested according to our deeds on earth so we should strive to do good deeds while alive so we can pass these tests with ease when dead.
