Sunan an-Nasai 1502 (Book 16, Hadith 44) #16113
Signs of Allah (SWT): Pray During Eclipses

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet (PBUH) teaching his companions that eclipses of the sun and moon are signs from Allah (SWT) to instill fear in His slaves, and that they should pray and supplicate until it passes.

It was narrated that Abu Bakrah said: "We were with the Prophet and the sun became eclipsed. He got up and went to the masjid, dragging his garment in haste. The people stood with him and he prayed two rak'ahs as they usually prayed. When the eclipse ended he addressed us and said 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT), with which He strikes fear into His slaves. They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see either of them being eclipsed, then pray and supplicate until it removed it from you'."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ مِنَ الْعَجَلَةِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلُّونَ فَلَمَّا انْجَلَتْ خَطَبَنَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ كُسُوفَ أَحَدِهِمَا فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى يَنْكَشِفَ مَا بِكُمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray & Supplicate during eclipses

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's teachings on eclipses. He taught his companions that when they see an eclipse, it is a sign from Allah to instill fear in His slaves. He instructed them to pray and supplicate until it passes. This teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions as we are all servants of Allah, and when something out of the ordinary happens, like an eclipse, we should take it as a reminder to turn back to Him in prayer. We must also remember that these events do not occur for any particular person's death or birth; rather they are signs from God for us all.
