Hadith on Kusuf: Great humility of the Prophet proves him true

Al-Mughirah ibn Shu’bah reported: The sun eclipsed on the day the Prophet’s son Abraham died, and the people said the eclipse was because of the death of Abraham. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The sun and the moon are two signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse because of the death or birth of anyone. When you see them, call upon Allah and pray until the eclipse is clear.

عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ انْكَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلاَ لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ وَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَ
