Sahih al-Bukhari 1028 (Book 16, Hadith 17)
with the people and recited a long recitation, then he performed a prolonged bowing, and then lifted
his head and recited a prolonged recitation which was shorter than the first. Then he performed a
prolonged bowing which was shorter than the first and then lifted his head and performed two
prostrations. He then stood up for the second rak`a and offered it like the first. Then he stood up and
said, “The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone’s life or death but they are two signs
amongst the signs of Allah which He shows to His worshipers. So whenever you see them, make haste
for the prayer.”
“ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لاَ يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُرِيهِمَا عِبَادَهُ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ ”.
