Mishkat al-Masabih 1483

‘A'isha told a tradition similar to that of Ibn ‘Abbas and said

Then he prostrated himself for a long time, then departed and the sun had become clear. He preached to the people, and after praising and extolling Allah he said, “The sun and the moon are two of Allah’s signs; they are not eclipsed on account of anyone’s death or on account of anyone's birth, so when you see that supplicate Allah, declare His greatness, pray and give alms." He then said, “O people of Muhammad, I swear by Allah that no one is more indignant than Allah when His servant or handmaiden commits fornication. O people of Muhammad, I swear by Allah that if you knew what I know you would laugh little and weep much." (Bukhari and Muslim.)

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَقَالَتْ: ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَقَدِ انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ وَكَبِّرُوا وَصَلُّوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَزْنِيَ عَبْدُهُ أَوْ تَزْنِيَ أَمَتُهُ يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا»
