Question : Is there any established report in the Sunnah of a prayer similar to the eclipse prayer that is performed when great cosmic signs, such as earthquakes, occur? And is it established from Ibn Abbas that he prayed because of earthquakes?
Answer : Yes, it is established from Ibn Abbas that he prayed for the earthquake, meaning the shaking of the earth. Perhaps he (may Allah be pleased with him) cited as evidence the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 1044 so rush to prayer. He saw that for every frightening sign of Allah, it is prescribed to pray the eclipse prayer. There is no doubt that this is what he (may Allah be pleased with him) said, or we are certain of it. Yes.

The sun and the moon are two signs against the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse on the death or life of anyone. So when you see the eclipse
إن الشمس والقمر آيتان من آيات الله لا ينخسفان لموت أحد ولا لحياته فإذا رأيتم ذلك
