It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed as true two verses of the poetry of Umayyah bin Abi al-Salt. He (Umayyah) said (about the bearers of the Throne): "(Among them) is a man, and a bull beneath his right foot, while at the other (foot) is a vulture and a lion lying in wait." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He spoke the truth." Then he said (about the sun): "And the sun rises at the end of every night, reddish, its light becoming rosy in the morning; it is reluctant (to rise), and it does not come out to us at its usual pace except while it is being reproached (by the angels) or being lashed." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He spoke the truth."
