English Translation

Ahmad bin Ali bin al-Muthanna narrated to us. He said: Yahya bin Sa'id narrated to us from Ismail bin Abi Khalid. He said: Qays narrated to us from Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he looked at the moon on the night when it was full, and he said: "Indeed, you will see your Lord just as you see this moon. You will not be harmed in seeing Him. So if you are able not to be overcome regarding a prayer before the rising of the sun and before its setting, then do so." Then he recited: {And glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting.}
