Sun & Muhammad:-
Not knowing that the Sun is relatively 'static' while it is the Earth that is revolving around it, Muhammad had his own 'scientific' explanations about its course.
This is the story of the setting of the sun in a well and its course as a passenger.
The following are verses of astounding wisdom and knowledge from Muhammad and his Quran.
18: 86 Until when he reached the setting of the sun He found it set in a spring of murky water: near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority) either to punish them or to treat them with kindness……
90 Until when he came to the rising of the sun he found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no covering protection against the sun.
75: 9 And the sun and moon are joined together
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1272 Narrated byAmr ibn Anbasah as-Sulami
I asked: Apostle of Allah, in which part of night the supplication is more likely to be accepted? He replied: In the last part: Pray as much as you like, for the prayer is attended by the angels and it is recorded till you offer the dawn prayer; then stop praying when the sun is rising till it has reached the height of one or two lances, for it rises between the two horns of the Devil, and the infidels offer prayer for it (at that time). Then pray as much as you like, because the prayer is witnessed and recorded till the shadow of a lance be- comes equal to it. Then cease prayer, for at that time the Hell-fire is heated up and doors of Hell are opened. When the sun declines, pray as much as you like, for the prayer is witnessed till you pray the afternoon prayer; then cease prayer till the sun sets, for it sets between the horns of the Devil, and (at that time) the infidels offer prayer for it. He narrated a lengthy tradition. Abbas said: AbuSalam narrated this tradition in a similar manner from AbuUmamah. If I have made a mistake unintentionally, I beg pardon of Allah and repent to Him.
*** As usual, Muhammad plagiarised, misunderstood and twisted an item he heard from his meetings with Jewish rabbis. This subject is mentioned in
Rashi Pesachim 12a-b:"The difference between the Solar location before and after noon is clear, but during the noon hour the Sun is 'between the horns'.."
There is no mention of which horns and definitely no mention of Satan ***
Al-Muwatta Hadith Hadith 15.44
Forbidding Prayer After Subh and After Asr
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar from Abdullah as-Sunabihi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"The sun rises and with it is a horn of Shaytan and when the sun gets higher the horn leaves it. Then when the sun reaches the meridian the horn joins it and when the sun declines the horn leaves it, and when the sun has nearly set it joins it again." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade prayer at these times.
Al-Muwatta Hadith Hadith 15.46
Forbidding Prayer After Subh and After Asr
Yahya related to me from Malik that al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman said, "We visited Anas ibn Malik after dhuhr and he stood up and prayed asr. When he had finished his prayer, we mentioned doing prayers early in their time, or he mentioned it, and he said that he had heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, the prayer of the hypocrites, the prayer of the hypocrites, the prayer of the hypocrites is that one of them sits until the sun becomes yellow and is between the horns of Shaytan, or on the horn of Shaytan, and then gets up and rattles off four rakas, hardly remembering Allah in them at all.' "
Al-Muwatta Hadith Hadith 15.49
Forbidding Prayer After Subh and After Asr
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from Abdullah ibn Umar that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to say, "Do not intend to do your prayer at either sunrise or sunset, for the horns of Shaytan rise with the rising of the sun and set with its setting."
Umar used to beat people for that kind of prayer.
Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 1275 Narrated byAbdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: The time of the noon prayer is when the sun passes the meridian and a man's shadow is the same (length) as his height, (and it lasts) as long as the time for the afternoon prayer has not come; the time for the afternoon prayer is as long as the sun has not become pale; the time of the evening prayer is as long as the twilight has not ended; the time of the night prayer is up to the middle of the average night, and the time of the morning prayer is from the appearance of dawn, as long as the sun has not risen; but when the sun rises, refrain from prayer, for it rises between the horns of the devil.
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 1.510 Narrated byAbu Huraira and Abdullah bin Umar
Allah's Apostle said, "If it is very hot, then pray the Zuhr prayer when it becomes (a bit) cooler, as the severity of the heat [of the Sun] is from the raging of the Hell-fire."
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 4.494 Narrated byIbn Umar
Allah's Apostle said, "When the (upper) edge of the sun appears (in the morning), don't perform a prayer till the sun appears in full, and when the lower edge of the sun sets, don't perform a prayer till it sets completely. And you should not seek to pray at sunrise or sunset for the sun rises between two sides of the head of the devil (or Satan)."
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 9.520 Narrated byAbu Dharr
I entered the mosque while Allah's Apostle was sitting there. When the sun had set, the Prophet said, "O Abu Dharr! Do you know where this (sun) goes?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He said, "It goes and asks permission to prostrate, and it is allowed, and (one day) it, as if being ordered to return whence it came, then it will rise from the west." Then the Prophet recited, "That: 'And the sun runs on its fixed course (for a term decreed)," (36.38) as it is recited by 'Abdullah.
In his book, "The Lights of Revelation" (p. 399), the Baydawi indicates:
"The sun sets in a slimy spring; that is, a well which contains mud. Some of the readers of the Qur'an read it, '...a hot spring', thus the spring combines the two descriptions. It was said that Ibn 'Abbas found Mu'awiya reading it (as) hot. He told him, 'It is muddy.' Mu'awiya sent to Ka'b al-Ahbar and asked him, 'Where does the sun set?' He said in water and mud and there were some people. So he agreed with the statement of ibn al-'Abbas. And there was a man who composed a few verses of poetry about the setting of the sun in the slimy spring."
The Jalalain (p. 251) says that the setting of the sun is in a well which contains a murky mud.
I found the same interpretation and text in the Tabari's commentaries (p. 339) as well as in "Concise Interpretation of the Tabari" (p. 19 of part 2) in which he remarks that the well in which the sun sets "contains lime and murky mud".
These are the comments of the pillars of Islam and the intimate companions of Muhammad such as ibn Abbas and Aba Dharr. Also it is obvious from the Quran that the sun ran then settled down. The verse says:
36: 38 "And the sun runs on into a resting place."
On page 585, the Baydawi says:
"The sun runs in its course to a certain extent then it stops. It is similar to the passenger's repose after he completes his journey"
(refer also the book of al-Itqan by the Suyuti, p. 242).
