Hadith #171

Arabic Text

English Translation

Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he looked at the moon on the night of the full moon. He said: 'Indeed you shall see your Lord عز وجل just as you see this — you will not be harmed' — or 'not suffer any difficulty' — Ismāʿīl was uncertain — 'in seeing Him. So if you are able not to be overwhelmed such that you miss a prayer before sunrise and before sunset, then do so.' Then he said: {So glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting.}
