Jabir reported that the sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on that very day when Ibrahim the Prophet son died. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ stood up and led people in two rakahs of prayer with six ruku and four prostrations. He commenced the prayer with takbir Allah-o-Akbar and then recited and prolonged his recital. He then bowed nearly the length of time that he stood up. He then raised his head from the ruku and recited but less than the first recital. He then bowed to the length of time that he stood up. He then raised his head from the ruku and again recited but less than the second recital. He then bowed to the length of time that he stood up. He then lifted his head from the ruku. He then fell in prostration and observed two prostrations. He stood up and then bowed; observing six ruku like it; without completing the rakah in them; except this difference that the first qiyam of ruku was longer than the later one; and the ruku was nearly of the same length as prostration. He then moved backward and the rows behind him also moved backward till we reached the extreme Abu Bakr said: till he reached near the women He then moved forward and the people also moved forward along with him till he stood at his original place of worship. He then completed the prayer as it was required to complete and the sun brightened and he said: O people! verily the sun and the moon are among the signs of Allah and they do not eclipse at the death of anyone among people Abu Bakr said: On the death of any human being. So when you see anything like it of the nature of eclipse ; pray till it is bright. There is nothing which you have been promised in the next world but I have seen it in this prayer of mine. Hell was brought to me as you saw me moving back on account of fear lest its heat might affect me; and I saw the owner of the curved staff who dragged his intestines in the fire; and he used to steal the belongings of the pilgrims with his curved staff. If he the owner of the staff became aware; he would say: It got accidentally entangled in my curved staff; but if he was unaware of that; he would take that away. I also saw in it in Hell the owner of a cat whom she had tied and did not feed her nor set her free so that she could eat the creatures of the earth; till the cat died of starvation. Paradise was brought to me; and it was on that occasion that you saw me moving forward till I stood at my place of worship. I stretched my hand as I wanted to catch hold of its fruits so that you may see them. Then I thought of not doing it. Nothing which you have been promised was there that I did not see in this prayer of mine.
