Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) say: 'A group among my Ummah will continue to fight for the truth and will prevail until the Day of Resurrection. And 'Eisa bin Mariam will descend and their leader will say: 'Come and lead us in Salat,' but he will say: 'No, you are leaders of one another,' as an honor from Allah to this Ummah."

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The Hour will not begin until the sun rises from its place of setting. When it rises from its place of setting, all people will believe, but on that day '...No good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good through his Faith..."

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'There are three things, when they appear no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good through his faith: The rising of the sun from its place of setting, the Dajjal, and the Beast of the Earth."

It was narrated from Abu Dharr that the Prophet (s.a.w) said one day: "Do you know where this sun goes?" They said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "It runs along its course until it reaches its resting place beneath the Throne, where it falls prostrate and remains like that until it is said to it: 'Rise and return from where you came from.' Then in the morning, it rises from its place of rising. Then it runs along its course until it reaches its resting place beneath the Throne, where it falls prostrate and remains like that until it is said to it: 'Rise and return from where you came from.' Then in the morning, it rises from its place of rising. Then it will run along its course and the people will not notice anything unusual, until it reaches its resting place beneath the Throne, then it will be said to it: 'Go and rise from the place of your setting.' So in the morning it will rise from the place of its setting." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Do you know when that will be? That will be when '...No good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good through his Faith...'"

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: "I entered the Masjid and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was sitting there. When the sun disappeared he said: 'O Abu Dharr, do you know where this sun goes?' I said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'It goes and asks for permission to prostrate, and permission is granted to it, and it is as if it will be told: Return from where you came, and it will rise from its place of setting.'"

و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لَأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ فَلَمَّا غَابَتْ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ هَلْ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسُ ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تَذْهَبُ فَتَسْتَأْذِنُ فِي السُّجُودِ فَيُؤْذَنُ لَهَا وَكَأَنَّهَا قَدْ قِيلَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي مِنْ حَيْثُ جِئْتِ فَتَطْلُعُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فِي قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَذَلِكَ مُسْتَقَرٌّ لَهَا.

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about the words of Allah: "And the sun runs on its fixed course." He said: 'That brings it to its resting place beneath the Throne.' "

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الْأَشَجُّ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى { وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَهَا }؟ [يس:38] قَالَ مُسْتَقَرُّهَا تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ.

'Urwah bin Az-Zubair narrated that 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w), told him: "The first thing with which the Revelation began for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) were true dreams which he saw in his sleep; he did not see any dream but it came true like the light of dawn. Then solitude was made dear to him, and he used to withdraw to the cave of Hira' where he would worship Allah for a number of nights before returning to his family to collect more provisions, then he would go back to Khadijah and take more provisions. Then the truth came to him suddenly when he was in the cave of Hira'. The Angel came to him and said: 'Read!' He said: 'I cannot read.' He said: 'He took hold of me and hugged and pressed me hard until I could not bear it, then he released me and said: 'Read!' I said: "I cannot read." Then he hugged and pressed me hard a second time until I could not bear it, then he released me and said: 'Read!' I said: "I cannot read.' Then he took hold of me a third time and hugged and pressed hard until I could not bear it, then he released me and said: 'Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists). He has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not.' Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went back, with his heart pounding, and entered upon Khadijah. He said: 'Cover me, cover me!' So they covered him, until his fear subsided, then he said to Khadijah: 'O Khadijah, what has happened to me (being unable to handle the responsibility)?' And he told her what had happened. He said: 'I fear for myself.' Khadijah said to him: 'No, be of good cheer, for by Allah! Allah will never humiliate you. By Allah! You uphold the ties of kinship, speak the truth, bear people's burdens, help the destitute, honor your guests and help people when calamity strikes.' Khadijah took him to Waraqah bin Nawfal bin Asad bin 'Abdul-'Uzza, who was the son of Khadijah's paternal uncle - her father's brother. He was a man who had become Christian during the Jahiliyyah; he was a literate man and he wrote as much of the Injil in Arabic as Allah willed he should write. He was an old man who had gone blind. Khadijah said to him: 'O uncle, listen to what your brother's son has to say.' Waraqah bin Nawfal said: 'O son of my brother, what happened?' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) told him what had happened, and Waraqah said to him: 'This is An-Namus (angel) who was sent down to Musa, Would that I were a young man! Would that I live until your people expel you!' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Will they really expel me?' Waraqah said: 'Yes. No man has ever brought what you have brought, except he was met with hostility. If I live to see that day, I will support you wholeheartedly."'

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The first thing with which the Revelation began for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was..." A Hadith similar to that of Yunus (no. 403), except that it contains: "(Khadijah said:) 'By Allah! Allah will never cause you to grieve."' And: "Khadijah said: 'O son of my uncle, listen to what the son of your brother has to say."'

'Urwah bin Az-Zubair said: "'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w), said:... And he went back to Khadijah with his heart pounding," and he narrated a Hadith similar to the reports of Yunus and Ma'mar (no. 403, 404 ). But he did not mention the first part of their Ahadith where it says: "The first thing with which the Revelation began for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) were true dreams." He followed the Hadith of Yunus as far as the words: "By Allah! Allah will never humiliate you," and he mentioned the words of Khadijah: "O son of my uncle, listen to what your brother's son has to say."

Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari - who was one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) - used to narrate that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), speaking of the interruption in the Revelation said: "While I was walking, I heard a voice from heaven. I raised my head, and there was the Angel who had come to me in Hira', sitting on a throne between heaven and earth." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "I was stricken with terror, so I went back and said, 'Cover me, cover me!' So they covered me, then Allah, [Blessed be He and Most High], revealed the Verses: "O you enveloped in garments! Arise and warn! And magnify your Lord! And purify your garments! And keep away from Ar-Rujz!." - And that is the idols - "Then the Revelation resumed."
