وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُ رَأْيُ عَيْنٍ فليَقرأْ: (إِذا الشَّمسُ كُوِّرَتْ) و (إِذا السَّماءُ انفطرَتْ) و (إِذا السَّماءُ انشقَّتْ) رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ
Ibn 'Umar reported God's messenger as saying, "If anyone would like to look at the day of resurrection as though it were before his eyes he should recite:

`When the sun is obscured[1] `When the sky shall be split open[2] and `When the sky shall be rent asunder.'"[3] 1. Quran, 81 2. Quran, 82 3. Quran, 84 Ahmad and Tirmidhi transmitted it.
