English translation
7424. Narrated Abū Dhar: I entered the mosque while Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was sitting there. When the sun had set, the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abū Dhar! Do you know where this (sun) goes?" I said, "Allāh and His Messenger know better." 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 ﷺ recited: "And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed)..." (V.36:38) as it is recited by 'Abdullāh. (See H. 3199, Vol. 4)
