The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) sometimes got angry because he was human

Is it true that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was leaning against `Ali’s chest when he died?

What the Shi`ah say about the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) dying when he was leaning against `Ali’s chest is all false, and no attention is to be paid to it. These reports are not strong enough to contradict the hadith of `A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), concerning which the scholars are unanimously agreed that it is authentic.

Reflecting on the signs of Allah, including the rising and setting of the sun

Reflecting on the signs of Allah in the universe and the signs (verses) in His Book is a great act of worship which leads to the revival of the heart, an increase in certainty of faith and veneration of the Creator. The rising and setting of the sun are two great signs of Allah, may He be Exalted, as He says: {[He is] Lord of the two places of sunrise and Lord of the two places of sunset. Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?} [Ar-Rahman 55:17, 18]. It is heedlessness for a person not to pay attention to the momentous signs by which he is surrounded, such as the heavens, the mountains, the alternation of night and day, the blowing of the wind and the clouds that are suspended between heaven and earth.

There is no contradiction between the verse and the hadith, and there is no confusion regarding them, such that we need to reconcile between them.

If the situation is as you describe, that you wiped over your socks after having put them on when you were not in a state of purity, because you were unaware that that was required, then you do not have to make up those prayers according to the view of a number of scholars, but if you are able to make them up, that is better and is more prudent.
