The Reciter: Harimah ibn Yahya narrated to me, Ibn Wahb informed me, Yunus informed me. And Abu al-Tahir and Muhammad ibn Salama al-Muradi said: Ibn Wahb informed us from Yunus from Ibn Shihab, who said: Urwah ibn al-Zubayr informed me from Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: . And the narration of Abu al-Tahir ended at his saying: , and he did not mention what came after it.
The Shaykh : In this hadith, there is an addition to what preceded: the explicit statement that he stood up after the prayer, praised Allah, and extolled Him with what is befitting Him. This indicates that it was a sermon intended to be delivered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to do so, as was his custom when he delivered a sermon.
Also in it is the fact that Paradise was presented to him, and Hellfire was presented to him; that is, he was shown them, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him. He moved forward when he saw Paradise to take a branch from it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 748, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not take it; it was prevented from him. Likewise, Hellfire—may Allah protect us and you from it—he saw it, some of it crushing some of it, when he moved back in fear of its scorching heat. This indicates that he saw them in reality, and it is not a matter of metaphor. But Allah (Mighty and Majestic) intended that the reward of the Hereafter be in the Hereafter. Also in it is evidence for the punishment of the grave, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Ibn Luhay in Hellfire, being punished because he was the first to dedicate the sa'ibah camels. The sa'ibah is the plural of sa'ibah: it is a custom among the Arabs that when a camel gave birth a certain number of times, they would dedicate it and say: "This is a musayyabah," and they would make it forbidden to themselves. And Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:103].
The sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to the mosque, stood up, and said the takbir, and the people lined up behind him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited a long recitation, then said the takbir and bowed in a long bowing. Then he raised his head and said: "Allah hears the one who praises Him. Our Lord, to You belongs all praise." Then he stood up and recited a long recitation, which was shorter than the first recitation. Then he said the takbir and bowed in a long bowing, which was shorter than the first bowing. Then he said: "Allah hears the one who praises Him. Our Lord, to You belongs all praise." Then he prostrated—and Abu al-Tahir did not mention: "Then he prostrated"—then he did the same in the other rak'ah, until he completed four rak'ahs and four prostrations. The sun cleared before he finished. Then he stood up and delivered a sermon to the people. He praised Allah with what is befitting Him, then he said: "Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse for the death of anyone or for his life. So when you see that, hasten to prayer." He also said: "Pray until Allah relieves you." And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw in this place of mine everything you have been promised, until I saw myself wanting to take a branch from Paradise when you saw me moving forward—and al-Muradi said: "I moved forward"—and I saw Hellfire, some of it crushing some of it, when you saw me moving back. And I saw in it Ibn Luhay, who was the one who dedicated the sa'ibah camels."
خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَامَ وَكَبَّرَ، وَصَفَّ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، فَاقْتَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، ثُمَّ قَامَ، فَاقْتَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً طَوِيلَةً هِيَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ الْأُولَى، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، فَرَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلًا هُوَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ الْأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ - وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ: ثُمَّ سَجَدَ - ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى اسْتَكْمَلَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ، وَانْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ، وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَافْزَعُوا لِلصَّلَاةِ، وَقَالَ أَيْضًا: فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُفَرِّجَ اللهُ عَنْكُمْ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: رَأَيْتُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وُعِدْتُمْ، حَتَّى لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أُرِيدُ أَنْ آخُذَ قِطْفًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي جَعَلْتُ أُقَدِّمُ - وقَالَ الْمُرَادِيُّ: أَتَقَدَّمُ - وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ جَهَنَّمَ يَحْطِمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا، حِينَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي تَأَخَّرْتُ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا ابْنَ لُحَيٍّ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَHasten to prayer
