Abu Hurairah narrated from the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-who said:

” الشمس والقمر ثوران مكوران في النار يوم القيامة “.

‘The sun and the moon will both spin and erupt in the Hell-Fire on the Day of Judgement.’

So al-Hasan asked: ‘What was the sin of the sun and the moon?!’

Abu Salmah said: ‘Rather what I do is narrate to you from the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam.’

So al-Hasan remained silent.’
