[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Tabuk, and the sun rose with a brightness, light, and radiance that I had never seen before in previous sunrises. Then Gabriel came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Gabriel, why do I see the sun rising with a brightness, light, and radiance that I had never seen before in previous sunrises?" Gabriel replied, "That is because Mu'awiyah ibn Mu'awiyah al-Laythi died in Al-Madinah today, so Allah ﷻ sent seventy thousand angels to pray upon him." He said, "And in that, he used to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112) abundantly, both day and night, in his travels, during his standing and sitting. So, O Messenger of Allah, would you like me to gather the earth for you so you can pray upon him?" He said, "Yes," so he prayed upon him. Then Al-'Ala' said, "This is the son of Zaid, and it is also said the son of Zaidah." Anas ibn Malik did not relate this with such details, Abu Sa'ad al-Malini informed us, who informed us Abu Ahmad ibn 'Adi, who reported from Al-Ala' ibn Zaid, who reported from Anas. Yazid ibn Harun, a weak narrator of Hadith, also narrated from him. The Shaykh said, "And this Hadith has been narrated from another chain of narrators as well, from Anas ibn Malik.
