Hazrat Qabeesah Bijli (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that when the sun was eclipsed, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two rak‘ahs until the sun became bright again. Then he said:“Indeed, the sun and the moon are not eclipsed because of anyone’s death. Rather, they are two creations among the creations of Allah, and Allah makes whatever changes He wills in His creation. Then, when Allah manifests Himself for anything among His creation, it expresses humility and submissiveness. Therefore, whenever either the sun or the moon is eclipsed, perform prayer until it becomes bright again, or until Allah brings forth a new command regarding it.”
