The
Sun once was in eclipse in the Prophet's (Sallal-laho alaihe wasallam) time.
The Sahabah left their jobs. Even the young boys, practising archery, hastened
towards the musjid to know what the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wa-sallam) would
do at that time. The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) started Salaat of two
rakaat, which were so long that some people fainted arid fell down. He wept in
his Salaat and said:
"O,
My Lord! Thou has said that Thou wouldst not punish them as long as I am with
them and so long as they seek Thy forgiveness." This refers to a verse in
the Qur'an wherein Allah says:
"But
Allah would not punish them while Thou art with them, nor will He punish them
while they seek forgiveness." (VIII-33)
He
then addressed the people saying:
"You
should hasten for Salaat whenever you happen to find the 'Sun or the Moon in
eclipse. If you happen to know the signs of the Last Day as I do, then surely
you would weep more and laugh less. In all such happenings, repair to Salaat;
pray to Allah and distribute alms to the poor."
