There is no proof that the sun was held back from setting until Bilaal ibn Rabaah gave the adhaan

 

I have heard lot of people saying especially in India that once Hazrat Bilal(May Allah be pleased with him), due to some sahabas complaining about his voice or his pronunciation in Adhan asked the permission for someone else to call the Adhan(Fajr). After he called people got worried as lot of time had passed but the sun didnt rise like normal. So they went to Prophet(Peace be upon him), told him the same & he replied that Allah has ordered the sun not to rise until Bilal gives the Call to Adhan.


Please let me know if there is any authentic Source where this incident of sun not rising because of Bilal(May Allah be pleased with him)is mentioned.

Praise be to Allaah.

There is no proof that the sun was held back for anyone
except the Prophet of Allah Yoosha‘ ibn Noon (peace be upon him). In fact
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated that this
did not happen to anyone other than Yoosha‘ ibn Noon. That is seen in the
hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), according to
which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “One of
the Prophets went out on a campaign… and he approached a town at the time
of ‘Asr prayer, or close to that time. He said to the sun: You are under
the command of Allaah and I am under the command of Allaah. O Allaah, halt
it for me for a while. So it was halted for him until Allaah granted him
victory.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3124) and Muslim (1747). 

In the version narrated by Imam Ahmad in al-Musnad
(14/65) it says: 

“The sun was not held back for any person except Yoosha‘ on
the day he was marching to Jerusalem. 

Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

This indicates that the sun was not held back for anyone
except for Yoosha‘ (peace be upon him). This is indicative of the weakness
of the reports which suggest that happened for anyone else. 

It is appropriate to quote what we have come across
concerning that… 

Then the shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned what
has been narrated about the same being held back for people other than
Yoosha‘ ibn Noon (peace be upon him) and explained what is wrong with these
reports. Then he said: 

To sum up, there is no saheeh report about the sun being held
back at all except this saheeh hadeeth. End quote. 

Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (no.
202) 

To conclude, we have not come across any basis for the story
about the sun being held back from rising until Bilaal gave the adhaan, in
any saheeh or da‘eef report, or even in any fabricated (mawdoo‘) hadeeth
that is known. 

It is not permissible to speak of such things except on the
basis of sound proof and evidence. Otherwise it is speculation, and speaking
about Allah without knowledge. 

And Allah knows best.
