Hadith.675 - Muhammad ibn Muslim asked Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) stillness of the sun. Imam (as) said: "O’ Muhammad, how small is your form and how challenging is your question! And indeed, you are worthy of an answer. When the sun rises, seventy thousand angels pull it, and for each of its rays, five thousand angels are responsible for both pulling and pushing it. When it reaches the sky and passes the 'arc,' the angel of light flips it from back to front so that what was facing the earth turns towards the sky, and its rays reach the boundaries of the Throne. At this moment, the angels exclaim, 'Glory be to Allah (swt), and there is no deity but Allah (swt), and all praise is due to Allah (swt), who has not taken a consort nor a son, and who has no partner in His dominion, nor does He need a protector out of weakness, so glorify Him with great glorification.'" Muhammad then asked: "Shall I maintain this supplication at the sun's zenith?" Imam (as) said: "Yes, preserve it as you would preserve your own eyes, for when the sun passes its zenith, the angels remain behind it, glorifying Allah (swt) in the sky until it sets”.
675 - سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رُكُودِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ «يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا أَصْغَرَ جُثَّتَكَ وَ أَعْضَلَ مَسْأَلَتَكَ وَ إِنَّكَ لَأَهْلٌ لِلْجَوَابِ إِنَّ اَلشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ جَذَبَهَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَخَذَ بِكُلِّ شُعَاعٍ مِنْهَا خَمْسَةُ آلاَفٍ مِنَ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةِ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَاذِبٍ وَ دَافِعٍ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتِ اَلْجَوَّ وَ جَازَتِ اَلْكَوَّ قَلَبَهَا مَلَكُ اَلنُّورِ ظَهْراً لِبَطْنٍ فَصَارَ مَا يَلِي اَلْأَرْضَ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ بَلَغَ شُعَاعُهَا تُخُومَ اَلْعَرْشِ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ نَادَتِ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةُ سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ وَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَ «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ اَلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ» صَاحِبَةً وَ لاَ «وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي اَلْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ اَلذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً» » فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أُحَافِظُ عَلَى هَذَا اَلْكَلاَمِ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ حَافِظْ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا تُحَافِظُ عَلَى عَيْنِكَ فَإِذَا زَالَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ صَارَتِ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةُ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا يُسَبِّحُونَ اَللَّهَ فِي فَلَكِ اَلْجَوِّ إِلَى أَنْ تَغِيبَ.
