(Imām Bukhārī narrates): Ismā'īl narrated to us, he said: Imām Mālik narrated to us, from Zaid ibn Aslam, from 'Atā' ibn Yasār, from 'Abdullāh ibn 'Abbās, may Allāh be pleased with them both, he narrated that:

in the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, the sun was eclipsed, so he prayed. The Companions said: O Messenger of Allāh! We saw that you were taking hold of something from your place, then we saw that you were stepping back. He said: Paradise was shown to me, so I intended to take hold of a cluster of Paradise, and if I had taken hold of it, you would have kept eating from it as long as this world remained.
