The sun and the mon are two Signs of Allah -azwj from the Signs of Allah -azwj , both flowing by His -azwj Command, obedient to Him -azwj . They do not get eclipsed for the death of anyone nor for his life. Thus, if both of them were to be eclipsed, or one of the two, so pray Salaat ’.

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ قُمْ فَجَهِّزِ ابْنِي فَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) فَغَسَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ حَنَّطَهُ وَ كَفَّنَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بِهِ وَ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَتَّى انْتَهَى بِهِ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ Then he -saww descended from the Pulpit and he -saww prayed Salaat with the people, Salaat of the eclipse. So, when he -saww greeted, said: ‘O Ali -asws !

Arise and prepare my -saww son -as !’ So Ali ‑asws arose and washed Ibrahim -as , and embalmed him -as , and enshrouded him -as , then came out with him -as , and Rasool-Allah -saww went until he -saww ended up with him -as to his -as grave.

فَقَالَ النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) نَسِيَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِمَا دَخَلَهُ مِنَ الْجَزَعِ عَلَيْهِ فَانْتَصَبَ قَائِماً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَتَانِي جَبْرَئِيلُ ( عليه السلام ) بِمَا قُلْتُمْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنِّي نَسِيتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ عَلَى ابْنِي لِمَا دَخَلَنِي مِنَ الْجَزَعِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّطِيفَ الْخَبِيرَ فَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَ جَعَلَ لِمَوْتَاكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ لَا أُصَلِّيَ إِلَّا عَلَى مَنْ صَلَّى At that, the people said, ‘Rasool-Allah -saww forgot to pray Salaat upon Ibrahim -as when the panic entered upon him -saww .

So, he -saww stood up straight, then said: ‘O you people! Jibraeel ‑as came to me -saww with what you all said. You are alleging that I -saww forgot to pray Salaat upon my -saww son -as due to what entered into me -saww from the panic. Indeed!

And it is not as you are thinking it to be, but the Kind, the Informed Necessitated five Salaat s upon you, and Made to be upon your deceased, one Takbeer from each Salaat , and Commanded me -saww that I -saww should not pray Salaat except upon the one who did pray Salaat ’ .
