English Translation
Abu Zakariyya Yahya ibn Ibrahim narrated to us... from Ibn Abbas who said: The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), so he prayed with the people. He stood for a long time, approximately the length of Surah al-Baqarah. Then he bowed for a long time, then raised his head and stood for a long time that was shorter than the first standing. Then he bowed for a long time that was shorter than the first bowing. Then he prostrated. Then he stood for a long time shorter than the first standing, then bowed for a long time shorter than the first bowing, then raised his head and stood for a long time shorter than the first, then bowed for a long time shorter than the first bowing. Then he prostrated, then departed, and the sun had cleared. He said: 'The sun and the moon are two signs from among the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse for the death of anyone nor for their life. When you see that, remember Allah.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we saw you reach for something in this place of yours, then we saw you step back.' He said: 'I saw Paradise - or I was shown Paradise - and I reached for a cluster of grapes from it. Had I taken it, you would have eaten from it for as long as the world remains. And I was shown the Fire, and I have never seen a sight more horrifying than today. I saw that most of its inhabitants were women.' They asked: 'Why, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Because of their ingratitude.' It was asked: 'Do they disbelieve in Allah?' He said: 'They are ungrateful to their husbands and ungrateful for kindness. If you were to be kind to one of them for a lifetime, then she sees something from you (she dislikes), she says: I have never seen any good from you at all.'
