The questioner:
His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Qamar 54:1] And as it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Mount Uhud between the two ends of the moon, how should one respond?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He saw Mount Uhud between the two ends of the moon.
The Shaykh:
This was in Makkah; the splitting of the moon occurred in Makkah and did not occur in al-Madinah. Mount Uhud is in al-Madinah.
The presenter:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: How should one respond to the one who says that the lunar eclipse did not occur during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
It is said: This is a liar. The one who says this is a liar. The moon, yes, did not occur during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, it was a solar eclipse. These are the authentic, explicit hadiths. Yes.
His saying, the Exalted:
The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].
