Description
A leading sunni maliki Jurist Qāḍī ʿIyāḍ ibn Mūsā al-Yaḥṣubī (Abū al-Faḍl) in his book al-Shifāʾ bi-Taʿrīf Ḥuqūq al-Muṣṭafā, page 347-348 states:
Al-Ṭaḥāwī has reported it in Mushkil al-Ḥadīth, from Asmāʾ bint ʿUmays, through two chains of transmission, that the Prophet ﷺ was receiving revelation while his head was resting in ʿAlī’s lap. Because of this, ʿAlī did not pray the ʿAṣr prayer until the sun had set.
The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Have you prayed, O ʿAlī?”
He replied: “No.”
The Messenger of God ﷺ then said: “O Allah, he was engaged in obedience to You and obedience to Your Messenger, so return the sun for him.”
Asmāʾ said: “I saw it set, then I saw it rise again after it had set, and it stopped upon the mountains and the land. This occurred at al-Ṣahbāʾ in Khaybar.”
