Please confirm whether the Hadith is sahih and what is the meaning of “aya” in the following hadith “Abdullah Bin Amro (R.A.) said: (I memorized from the messenger (SAW) a Hadith I will never forget. I heard the messenger of Allah (SAW) say: The first aya to come the rise of the sun from the west) [Ahmad]” The whole article which I received is as follows SUN WILL RISE FROM WEST. The science of astronomy states that the speed of planet Mars has been decreasing in its course toward the eastern direction in the few past weeks to the level we notice the “waver” between the east and the west and on Wednesday the 30th of July the planet movement stopped going toward the eastern direction. Then in the months of August and September Mars changed its course in the opposite direction to the West and that until the end of September which means the sun will rise now from the west on Mars!! And this weird phenomena of the opposite movement called “Retrograde Motion.” Most scientist state that all the planets will go through the same once at least and our planet Earth is one of them. Planet Earth will move in the opposite direction some day and the sun will rise from the west!! This might occur soon and we are unaware! Our beloved messenger Mohamed (Peace Be Upon Him) said: “One of the signs of the hour the sun will rise from the west, where no longer tauba (forgiveness) will be granted”!! And the strange thing most of our Shariah scholars mentioned that the rise of the sun from the west occurs only once on that day the sun will rise from the west then again from the east and continues until Allah wishes and this is similar to what is happening to Mars it stops, then it changes its course of direction for a short period of time then returns to way once it was. Abu Hurayra (R.A.) narrated that the messenger of Allah (SAW) said :”The day of the hour will not come until the sun rises from the west, if it rises and the people saw it they will all believe, when a time where nothing will be accepted anymore of believe the truth” (Abu Bukhari, Muslim) and from Abu Hurayra (R.A.) that the messenger (SAW) said:”Start with the six actions (he mentioned) the sun rising from the west) [Muslim] And Abdullah Bin Amro (R.A.) said: (I memorized from the Messenger (SAW) a hadith I will never forget. I heard the messenger of Allah (SAW) say: The first aya to come the rise of the sun from the west) [Ahmad] And the messenger SAW “Allah (SWT) places HIS hand at night to forgive his morning sinners, and places in the morning to forgive his night sinners until the sun rises from the west” [Muslim] This piece of news is very important as it brings with it a great sign of warning and remembrance of the coming of a new WORLD – the world of the Hereafter And it is also good material for calling others to ALLAH s.w.t. whether for Muslims, the unwary of us or the disbelievers. When we show this Hadith that was told 1400 years ago about this miracle. You will see InshaALLAH, a lot will enter this beautiful religion. And the Muslims if they see this phenomena happening in Mars, who knows maybe it would bring them closer to our CREATOR. May Allah (swt) keep all of us in the Right path and provide us with success in this world as well as in the hereafter. http://www.lenzinfo.org.za/announcements/When_the_sun.htm (Saudi Arabia)
One of the major signs of the Day of Judgment is that the sun will rise from the West instead of the East and this prophetic tradition is very well known and accurate. The detail you have given and whether or not it is in line with this prophetic tradition is a difference story. In other words, whether if it would be so openly observed by all the public the rising of the sun from the West as is observed nowadays it’s rising from the East, is not something that falls within the sphere of mathematical calculations. It is not based on the scientific information. It would be an open and clear observation by the entire humanity and then people would start flocking towards the faith of Islam but it would be of no avail.
