ثم أفاقوا بعد ساعات وقد انصرف أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام عن المكان فوافوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله مع الجماعة وقالوا: أنت تقول إن عليا بشر مثلنا وقد خاطبته الشمس بما خاطب به الباري نفسه؟ When Abu Bakr, and Umar, and the Emigrants, and the Helpers heard the speech of the sun, they swooned (passed out). Then they came around after a while, and Amir-ul-Momineen -asws had left from the place.

So they came to the Messenger of Allah -saww along with the group and said, ‘You -saww said that Ali -asws is a human similar to others, but when he -asws addressed the sun, the sun answered to him -asws by what the Creator -azwj (Allah -azwj ) is Himself -azwj addressed by?’ Explanation of the speech of the sun with Ali -asws The Prophet -saww said: ‘And what did you all hear from it?’ They said, ‘We heard it say, ‘Peace be upon you -asws , ‘ يا أول ’ (O the First one).

He -saww said: ‘It spoke the truth, he -asws is the first one to believe in me -saww ’. فقالوا: سمعناها تقول: (يا آخر). قال: صدقت، هو آخر الناس عهدا بي، يغسلني ويكفنني ويدخلني قبري. They said, ‘We heard it say, ‘ يا آخر ’ (O the Last one). He -saww said: ‘It spoke the truth, he -asws is the last of the people to separate from me -saww . He -asws will wash me -saww , and shroud me -saww , and enter me -saww in my -saww grave’. فقالوا: سمعناها تقول: (يا ظاهر). قال: صدقت، ظهر علمي كله له.

They said, ‘We heard it say, ‘ يا ظاهر ’ (O Apparent one). He -saww said: ‘It spoke the truth, all of my -saww knowledge has been made apparent to him -asws ’. قالوا: سمعناها تقول: (يا باطن). قال: صدقت، بطن سري كله. They said, ‘We heard it say, ‘ يا باطن’ (O the Hidden one). He -saww said: ‘It spoke the truth, all of my -saww secrets are hidden in him -asws ’. قالوا: سمعناها تقول: (يا من هو بكل شيئ عليم). قال: صدقت، هو العالم بالحلال والحرام والفرائض والسنن وما شاكل ذلك.

They said, ‘We heard it say, ‘ يا من هو بكل شيء عليم’ (O the one who is knowledgeable of all things). He -saww said: ‘It spoke the truth, he -asws is knowledgeable of the Permissibles and the Prohibitions, and the Obligations, and the Sunnah, and all (the things) resembling that’. فقاموا كلهم وقالوا: (لقد أوقعنا محمد في طخياء) وخرجوا من باب المسجد. All of them stood up and said, ‘Muhammad -saww has placed us in the ‘darkness’, and exited from the door of the Masjid.
