Among the well-known miracles of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) is the miracle of the returning of the sun (i.e. making the sun re-emerge after sunset).<\/p>\n

Hazrat Asmaa bin \u2018Umais (radhiyallahu \u2018anhha) reports the following:<\/p>\n

On one occasion, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was in a place near Khaibar named Sahbaa and was resting with his blessed head on the lap of Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu).<\/p>\n

Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) had not yet performed his \u2018asr salaah when wahi (divine revelation) began to descend upon Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam). The revelation of wahi continued until sunset, after which Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) asked Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) whether he had performed his \u2018asr salaah. When he replied in the negative, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) addressed Allah Ta\u2018ala in du\u2018aa saying, \u201cO Allah! \u2018Ali was in the obedience of Your Rasul (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)! I beg You to return the sun so that he may perform his \u2018asr salaah on time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hazrat Asmaa (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) mentions, \u201cAfter the sun had already set, it re-emerged with its rays falling on the earth and the mountains.\u201d<\/p>\n
