When he -saww turned from his -saww Salat, he -saww faced towards us with his -saww honourable face and said: ‘Community of people! One who missed the sun, so let him adhere with the moon, and one who misses the moon, so let him adhere with Al-Zuhra (Venus), and one who misses Al-Zuhra, so let him adhere with Al-Farqadeyn (two stars)’.
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ وَ الزُّهَرَةُ وَ الْفَرْقَدَانِ فَقَالَ أَنَا الشَّمْسُ وَ عَلِيٌّ ع الْقَمَرُ وَ فَاطِمَةُ الزُّهَرَةُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ الْفَرْقَدَانِ وَ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ لَا يَفْتَرِقَانِ حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww !
What is the sun, and the moon, and Al-Zuhra and Al-Farqadeyn?’ He -saww said: ‘I -saww am the sun, and Ali -asws is the moon, and (Syeda) Fatima -asws is Al Zuhra, and Al-Hassan -asws and Al-Husayn -asws are Al-Farqadeyn, and the Book of Allah -azwj will not separate until they return to me -saww at the Fountain’’.
