Sunan an-Nasai 1491 (Book 16, Hadith 33) #16102
Signs of Allah Striking Fear

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the sun and moon being two of Allah's signs that strike fear into His slaves, and how they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone.

It was narrated that Abu Bakrah said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the sun became eclipsed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out dragging his garment, until he came to the masjid, and the people gathered around him. He led us in praying two rak'ahs and when (the eclipse) ended he said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT) by means of which Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, strikes fear into His slaves. They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that, then pray until Allah (SWT)r relieves you of fear'. That was because his son named Ibrahim had died, and the people suggested to him that (the eclipse) happened because of that".
أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَثَابَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا انْكَشَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُخَوِّفُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ وَإِنَّهُمَا لاَ يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ ابْنًا لَهُ مَاتَ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ نَاسٌ فِي ذَلِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the sun and moon are two signs from Allah that can cause fear in His slaves. It was narrated by Abu Bakrah, who said he was with the Messenger of Allah when the sun became eclipsed. The Messenger of Allah then went to a masjid and led them in praying two rak'ahs until it ended. He then said that these eclipses do not happen because of someone's death or birth, but rather to strike fear into people so they should pray until their fear is relieved. This teaches us to be mindful of our actions as we never know when something might happen to remind us that we are all accountable for our deeds before God Almighty. We should also remember to always turn towards Him in prayer whenever we feel scared or overwhelmed by life's events, as He will always be there for us no matter what happens.
