Coupled with the remarkable spirit of sacrifice, the Sahabah had genuine and deep-rooted fear of Allah in their hearts. I wish today's Muslims could have an iota of that fear of. Allah. Here are a few stories about this aspect of their lives.
The action of Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) at the Time of Solar Eclipse
The action of Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) at the Time of Solar Eclipse
The 'Sun once was in eclipse in the Prophet's (Sallallaho
alaihe wasallam) time. The Sahabah left their jobs.
Even the young boys, practising archery, hastened towards
the musjid to know what the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasaHam) would do at that time. The Prophet
(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) started Salaat of two rakaat, which were so long that some people fainted and fell
down. He wept in. his Salaat and said:
"0, My Lord! Thou has said that Thou \Would not
punish them as long as I am with them and so long as they seek Thy forgiveness."
This refers to, a verse in the Qur'an wherein Allah says:
"But Allah would not punish them while Thou art with
them. nor will He punish them while they seek forgiveness." (VIII-33)
He then addressed the people saying:
"You should hasten for Salaat whenever you happen to
find the Sun or the Moon in eclipse. If you happen to know the signs of the Last Day as I do. then surely you
would weep more and laugh less. In all such happenings, repair to Salaat; pray to Allah and distribute
alms to the poor."
