The Prayer for Eclipses, Earthquakes, Winds, and Oppression and Their Causes
وَ قَدْ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «إِنَّ اَلشَّمْسَ وَ اَلْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اَللَّهِ يَجْرِيَانِ بِتَقْدِيرِهِ وَ يَنْتَهِيَانِ إِلَى أَمْرِهِ وَ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَ لاَ لِحَيَاةِ أَحَدٍ فَإِذَا اِنْكَسَفَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَبَادِرُوا إِلَى مَسَاجِدِكُمْ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: "Indeed, the sun and the moon are two signs from among the signs of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. They move according to His decree and stop according to His command. They do not eclipse due to the death or life of anyone. So, when one of them eclipses, hasten to your mosques."
