حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَعَلَيْهِ بَرْذَعَةٌ أَوْ قَطِيفَةٌ، قَالَ: وَذَلِكَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ، فَقَالَ لِي: "يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، هَلْ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ تَغِيبُ هَذِهِ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: "فَإِنَّهَا تَغْرُبُ فِي عَيْنٍ حَامِئَةٍ، تَنْطَلِقُ حَتَّى تَخِرَّ لِرَبِّهَا سَاجِدَةً تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ، فَإِذَا حَانَ خُرُوجُهَا أَذِنَ اللهُ لَهَا فَتَخْرُجُ فَتَطْلُعُ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطْلِعَهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ تَغْرُبُ حَبَسَهَا، فَتَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ مَسِيرِي بَعِيدٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهَا: اطْلُعِي مِنْ حَيْثُ غِبْتِ، فَذَلِكَ حِينَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once at the time of sunset, I was in the mosque with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Dharr! Do you know where this sun goes?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It goes and prostrates before its Lord, then seeks permission to return, which is granted to it. When it is said to it, 'Return to where you came from,' it returns to its rising place. That is its place of settlement." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) recited this verse: "The sun runs on its fixed course."
