Once solar eclipse occurred during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He offered the eclipse prayer. His
companions asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We saw you trying to take something while standing at your
place and then we saw you retreating." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I was shown Paradise and wanted to have a
bunch of fruit from it. Had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world remains."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 10, Hadith 142
