Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, and 'Abd al-A'la ibn 'Abd al-A'la narrated to us from al-Jurayri from Hayyan ibn 'Umayr from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah, and he was one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Mishkat al-Masabih 1488.
The Shaykh : There is a problem in this, rather, there are problems:
The first is that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his hands raised, glorifying, praising, saying Allahu Akbar, and making supplication until the eclipse was removed. But what is known is that he was praying, reciting, bowing, and prostrating until the eclipse was removed.
And secondly, it mentions that he raised his hands, and that was not mentioned in the previous hadiths.
And thirdly, he said: "When it was removed, he recited two surahs and prayed two rak'ahs." This is also contrary to what came before, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) started with the prayer first and did not leave the prayer until the eclipse was removed. Therefore, this is among the matters that those who enter the competition will be exposed to, if Allah wills, so that the meaning of this hadith or the anomaly of this hadith becomes clear.
Now, how does he shoot with his arrows? Who is he shooting at? It appears that he is practicing. Therefore, a person should practice with weapons, at all times, at the appropriate time, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Anfal 8:60]. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1917 But today, archery is with missiles, bombs, and the like. We ask Allah to restore that time for us.
During the lifetime of God’s Messenger was shooting some of my arrows in Medina when an eclipse of the sun took place. I therefore threw them away and said, “I swear by God that I must see how God’s Messenger acts in a solar eclipse.” When I came to him he was standing in prayer raising his hands. He then began to glorify God, to acknowledge that He is the only God, to declare His greatness, to express His praise and make supplication till the eclipse came to an end. When the eclipse was over he recited two suras and prayed two rak'as
كُنْتُ أَرْتَمِي بِأَسْهُمٍ لِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذْ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَنَبَذْتُهَا، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ إِلَى مَا حَدَثَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي الصَّلَاةِ رَافِعٌ يَدَيْهِ، فَجَعَلَ يُسَبِّحُ، وَيَحْمَدُ، وَيُهَلِّلُ، وَيُكَبِّرُ، وَيَدْعُو، حَتَّى حُسِرَ عَنْهَا، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا حُسِرَ عَنْهَا، قَرَأَ سُورَتَيْنِ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِThe Shaykh : There is a problem in this, rather, there are problems:
