(powdered barley) with water for me.” The man said, “The sun (has not set yet), O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).”
The Prophet (ﷺ) again said to him, “Get down and mix Sawiq with water for me.” The man again said, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! The sun!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him (for the third time) “Get down and mix Sawiq with
water for me.” The man dismounted and mixed Sawiq with water for him. The Prophet (ﷺ) drank it and
then beckoned with his hand (towards the East) and said, “When you see the night falling from this
