And do you know how that is?

And do you know how that is?’ I said, ‘No’. He -asws said: ‘Because the east overlooks upon the west like this’, and he -asws raised his ‑asws right hand above his -asws left, ‘So when (the sun) disappears from over here, the redness goes away from over there’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid and Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasi Bin Urwa, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘When the redness disappears from this side, meaning from the east, so the sun has set from the east of the earth and its west’.

Ali Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Wallad who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said ‘Allah -azwj Created a veil of darkness from what follows the east and Allocated an Angel with it. So, when the sun sets, that Angel scoops out a scoop with his hand, then faces the west with it followed by the twilight and takes it out from his hand, little by little, and he goes (on doing that). So the Al-Maghrib is complete during the falling of the sun.

So the darkness is released (into the darkness). Then he returns to the east. So when the dawn emerges, he spreads his wings, so the darkness urges on from the east to the west until the west is completed with it during the emergence of the sun’.
