2551. Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh Al-Bajalī narrated: "We were seated with the
Prophet ﷺ when he looked towards the moon on the night of a full moon and said, 'Indeed you shall be placed before your Lord and you shall see Him as you see this moon. You will see Him without trouble. So if you are able to keep from becoming overwhelmed from prayer before the rising of the sun and before its setting, then do so.' Then he recited: And glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting."[1]

Commentary
A common spectacle about the moon is that, when it rises on the horizon, all men from east to west can see it unhindered at one and the same time. Through this parable of the moon the Prophet ﷺ has in fact brought home to the people the idea that all the inhabitants of Paradise will be able to see the Countenance of their Lord at the same time without any let or hindrance.
