Question:
I have read and heard many times that the hadith (The Prophet (ﷺ) asked me at sunset: “Do you know where the sun goes (at sunset)?” I replied: “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said: “He goes (i.e. travels) until he prostrates himself under the throne…”
Answer:
It is a sahih hadith and a tremendous confirmation of the constant tasbih and dhikr of everything in creation from the largest signs to the smallest. The setting signifies the regimentation of that state of worship for the 24h of the human being and Allah knows best.
