Volume 2, Book 18, Number 170:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
In the life-time of the Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) the sun eclipsed and he went out dragging his
clothes till he reached the Mosque. The people gathered around him and he led them and offered
two Rakat. When the sun (eclipse) cleared, he said, “The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the
signs of Allah; they do not eclipse because of the death of someone, and so when an eclipse occurs,
pray and invoke Allah till the eclipse is over.” It happened that a son of the Prophet called Ibrahim
died on that day and the people were talking about that (saying that the eclipse was caused by his
death).

Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said. No doubt your blood, property, the sub-narrator Muhammad thought that Abu
Bakra had also mentioned and your honor (chastity), are sacred to one another as is the sanctity of
this day of yours in this month of yours. It is incumbent on those who are present to inform those
who are absent.” (Muhammad the Subnarrator used to say, “Allah’s Apostle told the truth.”) The
Prophet repeated twice: “No doubt! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s message to you.
