Ibn Manda, Ibn Shāhīn, and al-Ṭabarānī narrated—through chains of transmission, some of which meet the criteria of authenticity (ṣaḥīḥ)—from Asmāʾ bint ʿUmays, who said:
“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was receiving revelation while his head was in ʿAlī’s lap, and he did not pray the afternoon prayer until the sun had set. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: ‘O Allah, indeed he was engaged in obedience to You and obedience to Your Messenger, so return the sun for him.’”
Asmāʾ said: “I saw it set, and then I saw it rise again after it had set.”
In another wording reported by al-Ṭabarānī: “The sun rose for him until it stood upon the mountains and upon the earth. ʿAlī then stood up, performed ablution, and prayed the afternoon prayer; then it set again. This occurred at al-Ṣahbāʾ.”
Al-Ṭabarānī also narrated with a sound (ḥasan) chain from Jābir that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the sun, and it was delayed for an hour of the day.
