Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates regarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (He said:) "Indeed, the sun and the moon do not eclipse because of anyone’s death or life, rather both are signs from Allah Almighty. When you see either of them (in the state of eclipse), then perform prayer." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The command to perform prayer at the time of a solar or lunar eclipse means that if either one of them is eclipsed, prayer should be performed. It is not the case that the command to perform prayer is only when both are eclipsed at the same time.
