﷽
Qurʾān mentions the phenomena of perceiving as if the sun sets in a murky water.
The setting in water, here without a doubt is not literal, as the grammar and books of Tafsīr explains it.

ʿAllāmah as-Shinqīṭī said,
“Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water” [al-Kahf 18:86]
– that is, as it appears to be in the eye of the beholder, because the sun sets on one country, but remains up in
“Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water” [al-Kahf 18:86]
– that is, as it appears to be in the eye of the beholder, because the sun sets on one country, but remains up in
the sky for another, until it rises from the east on the following morning.
Some may ask,
Is it not “unscientific” to say the sun sets?

Christains love taking a jab against Islām,
Not realising their own Bible says, the sun literally sets in the sea.
Not realising their own Bible says, the sun literally sets in the sea.
The biblical commentators made it even more clear.
One may ask,
What about the Ḥadīt͟h which explicitly states, sun sets in a spring of warm water?
And didn’t al-Albānī grade it as, “Ṣaḥīḥ in chain”?
What about the Ḥadīt͟h which explicitly states, sun sets in a spring of warm water?
And didn’t al-Albānī grade it as, “Ṣaḥīḥ in chain”?
Firstly,
If we go to Al-Albānī’s actual work, the Aḥadīt͟h before and after it are graded “Ṣaḥīḥ” unrestrictedly,
But this particular Ḥadīt͟h, he adds “Ṣaḥīḥ in chain”, why is that so?

But this particular Ḥadīt͟h, he adds “Ṣaḥīḥ in chain”, why is that so?
Just because a Ḥadīt͟h is “Ṣaḥīḥ in chain”, does not necessitate the text in it is Ṣaḥīḥ as well.
To find, whether a particular Ḥadīt͟h text has weakness or a hidden defect, we compare all the chains, and reject the one with opposing wording.

This same Ḥadīt͟h has been narrated by 6 people from a narrator, Ibrāhīm At-Taymī
And only the one narrated by Sufyān → al-Ḥakam → Ibrāhim, has this addition:
“Sets in a spring of warm water”
All the other five narrators, who are more reliable, did not say that.
And only the one narrated by Sufyān → al-Ḥakam → Ibrāhim, has this addition:
“Sets in a spring of warm water”
All the other five narrators, who are more reliable, did not say that.
Let’s analyse the other five people, who narrated.

Hence we saw, 5 different people—which are more reliable, narrated from Ibrāhīm the same Ḥadīt͟h without any addition of setting in a Murky water.
The addition only comes from,
Sufyān bin Ḥussain, who narrated from,
al-Ḥakam → Ibrāhīm → Yazīd → Abī Dharr → Prophet ﷺ
The addition only comes from,
Sufyān bin Ḥussain, who narrated from,

Sufyān bin Ḥussain, has been criticised by the scholars,
• ʿUt͟hmān bin Abī Shaybah said: He was Trustworthy, but confused in Ḥadīt͟h.
• Muḥammad bin Sāʾd said: Made many mistakes in his narrations.
• Yāʾqūb bin Shaybah said: Had Weakness in his narrations.

al-Shaykh al-Muḥadīt͟h Musṭafa alʿAdawī (حفظه الله),
For this reason graded this narration to be inauthentic, and said the one in Bukhārī and others, are the authentic one.
