قُلْتُ لَهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَقْصَرُ الْأَيَّامِ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ هُوَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ كَيْفَ ذَاكَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَجْمَعُ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ تَحْتَ عَيْنِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِذَا رَكَدَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَذَّبَ اللَّهُ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِرُكُودِ الشَّمْسِ سَاعَةً فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ لَا يَكُونُ لِلشَّمْسِ رُكُودٌ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ لِفَضْلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَا يَكُونُ لِلشَّمْسِ رُكُودٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his brother Is’haq Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie, (It has been narrated) from Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘It has reached me that the day of Friday is the shortest of the days’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is like that’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! How can that be so?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Gathers the souls of the Polytheists beneath the eye of the sun. So when the sun stagnates, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Punishes the souls of the Polytheists by the stagnation of the sun for a while. So when it is the day of Friday, the stagnation does not occur for the sun, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Raises the Punishment from them due to the merit of the day of Friday. So the stagnation does not occur for the sun’.
