Hadith 708
۞
H 439 - It is narrated from Al-Fadhl bin Shadhan from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abi Nasr from Tha'laba from Badr bin Khalil Al-Azdi that he said
Abu Ja'far (a.s) said: “Two signs will occur before the Qa'im (a.s), they both never occurred since Adam (AS) came down to Earth: there will be a solar eclipse in the middle of the month of Ramadan, and a lunar eclipse at the end of it.” So a man said: “Oh son of Allah’s Messenger, doesn't a solar eclipse (usually) occur at the end of the month and lunar eclipse in the middle of it?” Abu Ja'far (AS) replied: “I know what you are saying, but they are both signs which have not occurred since Adam (AS) came down.”
439- الفضل بن شاذان، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبي نصر، عن ثعلبة، عن بدر بن الخليل الأزدي قال
قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: آيتان تكونان قبل القائم لم تكونا منذ هبط آدم عليه السلام إلى الأرض: تنكسف الشمس في النصف من شهر رمضان والقمر في آخره. فقال رجل: يا بن رسول الله تنكسف الشمس في آخر الشهر والقمر في النصف؟ فقال أبو جعفر عليه السلام:إني لاعلم بما تقول ولكنهما آيتان لم تكونا منذ هبط آدم عليه السلام.
