حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِ
ي الْمَسْجِدِ حِينَ وَجَبَتْ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ الشَّمْسُ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تَذْهَبُ حَتَّى تَسْجُدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّهَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَتَسْتَأْذِنَ فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَيُؤْذَنَ لَهَا وَكَأَنَّهَا قَدْ قِيلَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي مِنْ حَيْثُ جِئْتِ فَتَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَطْلَعِهَا فَذَلِكَ مُسْتَقَرُّهَا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ { وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَهَا }

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet دلوالله said: "Do you know where the sun goes when it sets?" They said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "It goes and prostrates beneath the Throne, then it seeks permission and permission is granted to it. Soon it will prostrate and it will not be accepted, and it will seek permission and will not be granted it, and it will be said to it: 'Return to where you came from.' So it will rise from the west."
