حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمُسَيَّبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ أًبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِتَبُوكَ، فَطَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ بِضِيَاءٍ وَشُعَاعٍ وَنُورٍ لَمْ يَرَهَا طَلَعَتْ فِيمَا مَضَى بِمِثْلِهِ، فَأَتَى جِبْرِيلُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: " يَا جِبْرِيلُ، مَالِي أَرَى الشَّمْسَ الْيَوْمَ طَلَعَتْ بِضِيَاءٍ وَنُورٍ وَشُعَاعٍ لَمْ أَرَهَا طَلَعَتْ فِيمَا مَضَى؟، قَالَ: إِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ اللَّيْثِيَّ مَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ الْيَوْمَ، فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَلْفَ مَلِكٍ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: وَفِيمَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ: كَانَ يُكْثِرُ قِرَاءَةَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَفِي مَمْشَاهُ، وَقِيَامِهِ وَقُعُودِهِ، فَهَلْ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَقْبِضَ لَكَ الْأَرْضَ فَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): "We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at (the expedition of) Tabuk when the sun rose with such brilliance, rays and radiance that it had never been seen rising in such a state before. Then Jibril (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'O Jibril! What is the reason that today I see the sun rising with such brilliance, light and radiance as has never been witnessed before?' He said: 'The reason is that today Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Mu'awiyah al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him) has passed away in Madinah, and Allah Almighty has sent a thousand angels to offer the funeral prayer over him.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'For what deed did he receive this status?' Jibril (peace be upon him) said: 'He used to recite "Say: He is Allah, the One" abundantly by night and by day, while walking, standing and sitting (in every state). O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Would you like me to fold up the earth for you so that you may offer the funeral prayer over him?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes.' So he (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the funeral prayer over him."
