English Translation

Hadrat Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be well pleased with them both) narrated: The sun eclipsed during the time of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), so the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) prayed. He prolonged the standing, then performed a bowing, then raised his head and stood for less than his first standing. Then he performed a bowing, then raised his head and stood for less than his first standing. Then he performed three bowings, then prostrated. Then he raised his head and stood, and performed three bowings in which he stood for less than the first standing. Then he prostrated, then departed, and the sun had cleared. He stated: «Indeed, the sun and the moon do not eclipse for the death of anyone nor for their life, and they are two signs from among the signs of Allah. So when you see their eclipse, pray until it clears.»
