A sunni Shaf'i Hadith Scholar Ismāʿīl ibn Muḥammad al-ʿAjlūnī al-Jarrāḥī in his book Kashf al-Khafā, Vol 1, Page 486 states:

Imām Aḥmad said: “It has no basis,” and Ibn al-Jawzī followed him and included it in al-Mawḍūʿāt (fabricated reports). However, al-Ṭaḥāwī declared it authentic, as did the author of al-Shifāʾ. It was also reported by Ibn Mandah and Ibn Shāhīn from Asmāʾ bint ʿUmays, and by Ibn Mardawayh from Abū Hurayrah.

al-Ṭabarānī narrated in al-Kabīr and al-Awsaṭ with a ḥasan (good) chain that the Prophet ﷺ commanded the sun and it was delayed for an hour of the day. Likewise, the sun was returned for the Prophet ﷺ when he informed (Quraysh) about the caravan he had seen on the Night Journey, saying they would arrive on such-and-such a day. Quraysh stood watching as the day was passing and they had not arrived, so the Prophet ﷺ supplicated, and an hour of the daytime was returned for him and the sun was held back.
