Arabic (Original)
وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ الْأَعْمَشِ فَحَدَّثَنَا بِهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ نَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَيْثُ وَجَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَتَدْرِي أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ الشَّمْسُ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تَذْهَبُ حَتَّى تَسْجُدَ فَتَسْتَأْذِنَ رَبَّهَا فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَيُؤْذَنُ لَهَا وَكَأَنَّهَا قَدْ قِيلَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي مِنْ حَيْثُ جِئْتِ فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَهَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَيْثُ وَجَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَتَدْرِي أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ الشَّمْسُ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تَذْهَبُ حَتَّى تَسْجُدَ فَتَسْتَأْذِنَ رَبَّهَا فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَيُؤْذَنُ لَهَا وَكَأَنَّهَا قَدْ قِيلَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي مِنْ حَيْثُ جِئْتِ فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَهَا
English Translation
As for the hadith of al-A'mash, 'Amr ibn 'Ali narrated it to us, he said: Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim al-Taymi, from his father, from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the mosque when the sun had set, and he said: O Abu Dharr, do you know where the sun goes? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: It goes until it prostrates and seeks permission from its Lord to return, and it is granted permission. It is as if it has been told: Return from where you came. So it returns to its setting place. That is His saying: 'And the sun runs to its fixed course.'
