“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) performed the eclipse prayer. He stood for a long time,
then he
bowed for a long time, then he stood up for a long time, then
he
bowed for a long time, then he stood up, then he prostrated for a
long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time. He
stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood
up
for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood up,
then he
prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he
prostrated for a
long time. Then he finished and said: ‘Paradise
was brought close to
me, so that if I had dared, I could have brought
you some of its
fruits. And Hell was brought near to me, until I
said: “O Lord, am I
one of them?” Nafi’ said: “I think that
he said: ‘And I saw a woman
being scratched by a cat that belonged
to her. I said: “What is wrong
with this woman?” They said: “She
detained it until it died of hunger;
she did not feed it and she did
not let it loose to eat of the vermin
of the earth.”
