QuizTime (20): The sun has never stopped from setting for any human being except for which prophet?

 

QuizTime (20): The sun has never stopped from setting for any human being except for which prophet?

 

Ans: Yusha ibn Nun (Joshua)( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

 

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “One of the Prophets went out on a campaign… and he approached a town at the time of ‘Asr (late afternoon) prayer, or close to that time. He said to the sun: You are under the command of Allah and I am under the command of Allah. O Allah, halt it for me for a while. So it was halted for him until Allah granted him victory.”

Narrated by al-Bukhari (3124) and Muslim (1747). 

 

In Tareekh Dimashq (History of Damascus), Ibn ʻAsaakir  said about him, “His full name was Yoosha’ ibn Noon ibn Afraa'eem ibn Yoosuf ibn Yaʻqoob ibn Is-haaq ibn Ibraaheem, may Allaah exalt their mention. He was the servant boy of Moosa (Moses) ibn ʻImraan (A.S) and his successor over his nation after him. He accompanied Moosa to the land of Kanʻaan in Al-Balqaa’ near Damascus.”

 

Yusha ibn Nun led the Children of Isra'il against the Jababirah (the inhabitants of Jerusalem), who were a large giant-like people. The fighting was furious and the sun was about to set. Yusha ibn Nun knew that he could not defeat these people except if the day was longer as, if night came, the Jababirah would be able to regroup. So Yusha pointed to the sun and said, "You are receiving orders and I am receiving orders from Allah, O Allah stop the sun!" Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, caused the sun to stop for Yusha ibn Nun until he defeated the people of Jerusalem.

1)     Did sun hold Back Until Adhan Was Called?

 

 

To conclude, we have not come across any basis for the story about the sun being held back from rising until Bilaal (may Allah be pleased with him) called the adhan, in any saheeh or da‘eef (weak) report, or even in any fabricated (mawdoo‘) hadeeth that is known.

2)     The sun was not ordered to rise again for the sake of ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib.

 

Its unauthentic Hadith there is no proof that sun raise back for the sake of Ali(r.a).
