لَيْلَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ وَ هِيَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَلَمْ يُنْزَلِ الْقُرْآنُ إِلَّا فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيها يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ يُقَدَّرُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَكُونُ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا مِنْ قَابِلٍ خَيْرٍ وَ شَرٍّ وَ طَاعَةٍ وَ مَعْصِيَةٍ وَ مَوْلُودٍ وَ أَجَلٍ أَوْ رِزْقٍ فَمَا قُدِّرَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ وَ قُضِيَ فَهُوَ الْمَحْتُومُ وَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ الْمَشِيئَةُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ عُنِيَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ الزَّكَاةِ وَ أَنْوَاعِ الْخَيْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ وَ لَوْ لَا مَا يُضَاعِفُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا بَلَغُوا وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُضَاعِفُ لَهُمُ الْحَسَنَاتِ بِحُبِّنَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Al Fuzayl, and Zurara, and Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Humran who asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:44#h3"><a href="/books/quran:44#h3">[44:3]</a></a> Surely We Revealed it on a Blessed Night surely We are ever Warning</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes. The Night of Pre-determination. And it (occurs) during every year in a Month of Ramazan, during the last ten days. So the Quran was not Revealed except during the Night of Pre-determination’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Says <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:44#h4"><a href="/books/quran:44#h4">[44:4]</a></a> Therein every wise affair is made distinct</span>. During the Night of Pre-determination, everything is Ordained, which is to transpire during that year up to its similar (night) from the coming year, be it good or evil, and obedience, and disobedience, and births, and terms (life-spans), or livelihoods. So, whatever is Determined during that year, and Ordained, so it is the inevitable, and for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic therein is the Desire’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:97#h3"><a href="/books/quran:97#h3">[97:3]</a></a> The Night of Predestination is better than a thousand months</span>. Which thing is Meant by that?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The righteous deeds therein, from the Prayer, and the Zakat, and the variety of the goodness, is better than the deed during a thousand months wherein is not Night of Pre-determination. And, had Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High not Multiplied it for the Believers, they would not have reached (success). But, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Multiplies the Rewards for them by our<sup>asws</sup> love’.
