:[http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/hadith/bukhari/052-sbt.php#004.052.053 Bukhari 4:52:53] says, "A place in Paradise as small as the bow '''or lash''' of one of you is better than '''all the world''' and whatever is in it." So clearly the connection you made between the shape of a bow and the sun's orbit does not exist.

::Saggy, I would also like to know how you made that deduction and add to this query. Recently you interpreted the Horseman thing and now this certain one as well. Its good that you're exploring new verses and hadiths but there is a problem in how you're interpreting text. If you dont understand a certain text, you can ask us on your talk or on the [[forum]] page. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 04:34, 6 April 2014 (PDT) | ::Saggy, I would also like to know how you made that deduction and add to this query.

::Suppose you wanted to say the same thing, no matter if it sounds good or mediocre: "A place as small as X is better than that on which Y happens." Of course "that" could refer to "place " better than to "X". But if X is not something typically ''small,'' what is the point in saying it? ''Bow'' must have the other meaning (which is backed up by that sun travelling-prostrating and permission verse) Come on, u could have said as small as... anything. Why bow? You can think of several adjectives on hearing the word bow, except "small." Whether this was narrated at war (single endeavor) or some other hadith sounds partly similar, does not matter. That could be a change of the simile made in the first place. Is a place anything like a bow? The sun rises and sets? Not at all. Only a person who thinks the sun runs on a semicircle over the other place(earth) would have said "bow." [[User:Saggy|Saggy]] ([[User talk:Saggy|talk]]) 10:53, 6 April 2014 (PDT) |
