Arabic text

اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ زَوَالُ اَلشَّمْسِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« تَأْخُذُونَ عُوداً طُولُهُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَشْبَارٍ وَ إِنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ أَبْيَنُ فَيُقَامُ فَمَا دَامَ تَرَى اَلظِّلَّ يَنْقُصُ فَلَمْ تَزُلْ فَإِذَا زَادَ اَلظِّلُّ بَعْدَ اَلنُّقْصَانِ فَقَدْ زَالَتْ»

Translation

Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama’ah narrated from Sulayman ibn Dawud, from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, who said: The ‘zawal’ (sun’s meridian) was mentioned in the presence of Abu Abdillah (a.s), so Abu Abdillah (a.s), said: “You take a stick whose length is three spans (‘shibr’), and if it is longer, that is clearer. It should be erected upright. As long as you see the shadow decreasing, the sun has not yet passed the meridian. But when the shadow begins to increase after its decrease, then the sun has passed the meridian (‘zalat’).”

Translation: Haydar Ali Shaykh ibn Muhammad — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
