Sahih al-Bukhari 3201 (Book 59, Hadith 12) #3059
Signs of Allah: Eclipse Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that the sun and moon eclipses are signs from Allah, and when they occur, one should offer the eclipse prayer.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: The Prophet said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's death or life (ie birth), but they are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah. So, if you see them (ie eclipse) offer the (eclipse) prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُخْبِرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا

QUICK LESSONS:
Offer special prayers during eclipses

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught us that the sun and moon eclipses are signs from Allah. He said that these events do not happen because of someone's death or life, but they are two signs amongst many other signs from Allah. When we see an eclipse, we should offer a special prayer called Salatul Khusuf or the eclipse prayer. This is a way for us to remember God's greatness and power in our lives. It is also a reminder to be thankful for all His blessings upon us. We can use this time to reflect on our lives and ask for forgiveness if we have done something wrong. By offering this prayer during an eclipse, we can show our love and devotion to God as well as seek His guidance in our lives.
