The Sun's Stillness
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 35
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ اَلشَّمْسَ تَنْقَضُّ ثُمَّ تَرْكُدُ سَاعَةً مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَزُولَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهَا تُؤَامِرُ أَ تَزُولُ أَوْ لاَ تَزُولُ.
It was narrated from Hariz ibn Abdullah that He said: I was with Abu 'Abdillah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام when a man asked him, "May I be sacrificed for you, the sun seems to descend (move downward) and then becomes still for a moment before it reaches its zenith." Imam عليه السلام replied: "It consults whether it should continue or not”.
