So he addressed it, and it was returned to the time of Asr, until he prayed the Asr prayer along with the Prophet—His might was mighty. And it was reported in the book Al-Irshad that it was returned during the lifetime of the Messenger.

[56] And there came in Uyun al-Mu'jizat the account of its return in Babylon; after some discourse, Juwayriyah bin Mushir al-Abdi said: “So I followed him—meaning the Commander of the Faithful—among a hundred horsemen, and I said: ‘By Allah, I shall not pray until he prays, and I will surely fashion my prayer today after his.’ He said: The Commander of the Faithful journeyed until he crossed the land of Babylon, and the sun hung low for sunset, then it vanished and the horizon turned red. He said: Thereupon, the Commander of the Faithful—His might was mighty—turned to me and said: ‘O Juwayriyah, bring the water.’ He said: So I brought the vessel to him and he performed ablution.
