Hadith.607 - It is narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "One afternoon, horses were presented before Sulayman ibn Dawud (Solomon (as)), and he became preoccupied with viewing them until the sun set behind the veil (of night). He then said to the angels, 'Return the sun to me so that I may perform my prayer within its proper time,' and they returned it. He then stood and wiped his legs and neck (as an act of preparation for prayer) and commanded his companions, who had also missed the prayer, to do the same. This was their purification (wudu) for the prayer. He then performed his prayer, and once he finished, the sun set, and the stars appeared. This is the meaning of Allah’s (swt) words: 'And We granted to Dawud, Sulayman; an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Us]. When there were displayed before him in the afternoon the poised standing racehorses, He said
"Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good things over the remembrance of my Lord (azj) until it (the sun) disappeared behind the veil." [He said], "Return them to me," and he began to pass his hand over their legs and necks.' (Surah Sad 38:30-33).
607 - مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِالْعَشِيِّ اَلْخَيْلُ فَاشْتَغَلَ بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَوَارَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ بِالْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ رُدُّوا اَلشَّمْسَ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ صَلاَتِي فِي وَقْتِهَا فَرَدُّوهَا فَقَامَ فَمَسَحَ سَاقَيْهِ وَ عُنُقَهُ وَ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ اَلَّذِينَ فَاتَتْهُمُ اَلصَّلاَةُ مَعَهُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ وُضُوءَهُمْ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ غَابَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ طَلَعَتِ اَلنُّجُومُ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: «۝ وَ وَهَبْنٰا لِدٰاوُدَ سُلَيْمٰانَ نِعْمَ اَلْعَبْدُ إِنَّهُ أَوّٰابٌ `إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَشِيِّ اَلصّٰافِنٰاتُ اَلْجِيٰادُ فَقٰالَ إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ اَلْخَيْرِ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّي حَتّٰى تَوٰارَتْ بِالْحِجٰابِ رُدُّوهٰا عَلَيَّ فَطَفِقَ مَسْحاً بِالسُّوقِ وَ اَلْأَعْنٰاقِ ۝»
