\nNarrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas:\n \n\nThe sun eclipsed in the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) . Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the eclipse prayer \nand stood for a long period equal to the period in which one could recite Surat-al-Baqara. Then he \nbowed for a long time and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first \nstanding, then bowed again for a long time but for a shorter period than the first; then he prostrated \ntwice and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first standing; then he \nbowed for a long time which was shorter than the previous one, and then he raised his head and stood \nup for a long period which was shorter than the first standing, then he bowed for a long time which \nwas shorter than the first bowing, and then prostrated (twice) and finished the prayer. By then, the sun \n(eclipse) had cleared. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. \nThey eclipse neither because of the death of somebody nor because of his life (i.e. birth). So when you \nsee them, remember Allah." The people say, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We saw you taking something from \nyour place and then we saw you retreating." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "I saw Paradise and stretched my \nhands towards a bunch (of its fruits) and had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the \nworld remains. I also saw the Hell-fire and I had never seen such a horrible sight. I saw that most of \nthe inhabitants were women." The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why is it so?" The Prophet (ﷺ) \nreplied, "Because of their ungratefulness." It was asked whether they are ungrateful to Allah. The \nProphet said, "They are ungrateful to their companions of life (husbands) and ungrateful to good \ndeeds. If you are benevolent to one of them throughout the life and if she sees anything (undesirable) \nin you, she will say, 'I have never had any good from you.' "\n
