Umdat al-Ahkam (al-Maqdisi) 156عمدة الأحكام 156
عن أبي موسى الأشعري - رضي الله عنه - قال: «خسفت الشمس على زمان رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -. فقام فزعا، ويخشى أن تكون الساعة، حتى أتى المسجد. فقام، فصلى بأطول قيام وسجود، ما رأيته يفعله في صلاته قط، ثم قال: إن هذه الآيات التي يرسلها الله عز وجل: لا تكون لموت أحد ولا لحياته. ولكن الله يرسلها يخوف بها عباده، فإذا رأيتم منها شيئا فافزعوا إلى ذكر الله ودعائه واستغفاره».
Abu Musa reported: The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He stood in great anxiety fearing that it might be the Doomsday, till he came to the mosque. He stood up to pray with prolonged qiyam, ruku', and prostration which I never saw him doing in prayer; and then he said: These are the signs which Allah sends, not on account of the death of anyone or life of any one, but Allah sends them to frighten thereby His servants. So when you see any such thing, hasten to remember Him, supplicate Him and beg pardon from Him, and in the narration transmitted by Ibn 'Ala the words are:" The sun eclipsed"."" He frightens His servants."
