قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَلْيَدُمْ عَلَيْهِ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ عَنْهُ إِنْ شَاءَ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ يَكُونُ فِيهَا فِي عَامِهِ ذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the man was upon a (particular) deed, so let him persist upon it for a year. Then he should change from it, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Willing, to something else, and that is because the Night of Pre-determination (Laylat Al-Qadr) would occur in it during that year of his. Whatever Allah<sup>azwj</sup> so Desires would transpire’.
