[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ riding on a donkey, and it had a saddlecloth or a blanket on it. He said to me, "O Abu Dhar, do you know where this (the sun) sets?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Indeed, it sets in a hot spring and travels until it prostrates itself to its Lord beneath the Throne. When its time to rise comes, Allah gives it permission to rise, and it rises. And when it is time for it to set from where it rises, it is prevented and it utters: 'O Lord! My course is far, so give me permission.' So, Allah lets it rise from the place where it sets. That is the time when the soul's faith will not benefit it."  

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَعَلَيْهِ بَرْذَعَةٌ أَوْ قَطِيفَةٌ قَالَ وَذَلِكَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ هَلْ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ تَغِيبُ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تَغْرُبُ فِي عَيْنٍ حَامِئَةٍ تَنْطَلِقُ حَتَّى تَخِرَّ لِرَبِّهَا سَاجِدَةً تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ فَإِذَا حَانَ خُرُوجُهَا أَذِنَ اللهُ لَهَا فَتَخْرُجُ فَتَطْلُعُ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطْلِعَهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ تَغْرُبُ حَبَسَهَا فَتَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ مَسِيرِي بَعِيدٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهَا اطْلُعِي مِنْ حَيْثُ غِبْتِ فَذَلِكَ حِينَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا
