The miracle of the halting of the sun occurred in Makkah Mukarramah. When Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) returned from the journey of mi’raaj and informed the Quraish of this journey, they demanded that he inform them of a few specific details of Bayt-ul-Maqdis.

They also asked him regarding one of their trade caravans which had journeyed to Syria and when it was expected to return to Makkah Mukarramah (as Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) had informed them that he had went to Syria during the mi’raaj).
