Narrated Abu Dharr:
Once I was with the Prophet in the mosque at the time of sunset. The Prophet said, “O Abu Dharr!
Do you know where the sun sets?” I replied, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” He said, “It goes and
prostrates underneath (Allah’s) Throne; and that is Allah’s Statement:–
‘And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (decreed). And that is the decree of All-Mighty, the
All-Knowing….’ (36.38)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 327:
Narrated Abu Dharr:
I asked the Prophet about the Statement of Allah:–
‘And the sun runs on fixed course for a term (decreed), ‘ (36.38) He said, “Its course is underneath
“Allah’s Throne.” (Prostration of Sun trees, stars. mentioned in Qur’an and Hadith does not mean like
our prostration but it means that these objects are obedient to their Creator (Allah) and they obey for
what they have been created for).

I asked Muhajid regarding the prostration in Surat Sad. He said, “Ibn Abbas was asked the same
question and he said, ‘Those are they (the prophets) whom Allah had Guided. So follow their guid –
ance.” (6.90) Ibn ‘Abbas used to perform a prostration (on reading this Sura).

Narrated Al-Awwam:
I asked Mujahid regarding the prostration in Surat Sad. He said, “I asked Ibn ‘Abbas, ‘What evid –
ence makes you prostrate?’ He said, “Don’t you recite:–‘And among his progeny, David and So –
lomon..(6.84). Those are they whom Allah had guided. So follow their guidance.’ (6.90) So David was
the one of those prophets whom Prophet (Muhammad) was ordered to follow. David prostrated, so
Allah’s Apostle (Muhammad) performed this prostration too.’

Narrated Anas:
A banquet of bread and meat was held on the occasion of the marriage of the Prophet to Zainab
bint Jahsh. I was sent to invite the people (to the banquet), and so the people started coming (in
groups); They would eat and then leave. Another batch would come, eat and leave. So I kept on invit –
ing the people till I found nobody to invite. Then I said, “O Allah’s Prophet! I do not find anybody to
invite.” He said, “Carry away the remaining food.” Then a batch of three persons stayed in the house
chatting. The Prophet left and went towards the dwelling place of Aisha and said, “Peace and Allah’s
Mercy be on you, O the people of the house!” She replied, “Peace and the mercy of Allah be on you
too. How did you find your wife? May Allah bless you. Then he went to the dwelling places of all his
other wives and said to them the same as he said to Aisha and they said to him the same as Aisha had
said to him. Then the Prophet returned and found a group of three persons still in the house chat –
ting. The Prophet was a very shy person, so he went out (for the second time) and went towards the
dwelling place of ‘Aisha. I do not remember whether I informed him that the people have gone away.
