Miracle 74: Another Instance of the Returning of the Sun

As for the second instance of the sun returning for Ameerul Momineen (a.s.), the narrator says, that Juweyria bin Mus’hir said to him,

‘We crossed the bridge of Al-Sarrah with Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) during the time of Al-Asr. He (a.s.) said: ‘This is a punished land. It is neither appropriate for a Prophet nor a successor of a Prophet that he (a.s.) prays Salat in it. So, the one from you who wants to pray Salat, let him pray!’

The people dispersed right and left, praying. I said (to myself), ‘By Allah! I will follow this man in my salat today, and I will not pray until he (a.s.) prays’. We travelled and the sun went lower, and a grievous matter went on to enter me from that, until the sun had set completely, and then we crossed that land.

He (a.s.) said: ‘O Juweyria! Say the Azaan’. I said, ‘You are saying: ‘Say the Azaan’, while the sun has already set!’

He (a.s.) said: ‘Say the Azaan!’ So, I proclaimed the Azaan.

Then he (a.s.) said to me: ‘Say the Iqaamah!’ So, I proclaimed the Iqaamah. When I said, ‘The Salat has been established!’, I saw his lips moving and I heard a speech as if it was the Hebrew speech.

The sun rose until it came to be in the like of its time during the afternoon. He (a.s.) prayed Salat. When we had finished, it returned to its place and the stars appeared.

I said, ‘I hereby testify that you are the successor of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)!’¹
