Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Abdullah Al Momin, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I heard him^asws saying, and the people were saying that the livelihoods are distributed during the night of the middle of Shaban, so he^asws said: ‘No, by Allah^azwj! That is not except during the night of the 19^th of a Month of Ramazan, and 21^st, and 23^rd. So, during the night of the 19^th the two parties meet; and during the night of the 21^st, every wise affair is Made to be distinct; and during the night of the 23^rd whatever Allah^azwj has Intended, gets accomplished, and it is the Night of Pre-destination of which Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said it is better than a thousand months’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘What is the Meaning of His^azwj Worlds <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:8#h41"><a href="/books/quran:8#h41">[8:41]</a></a> the day on which the two parties meet</span>?’ He^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj Gathers therein whatever He^azwj so Intends from its Bringing forward, and its Delaying, and His^azwj intention, and His^azwj Judgement’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So what is the meaning of ‘It gets accomplished during the 23^rd?’ He^asws said: ‘It is Made to be distinct during the night of the 21^st, and there happens to be the Change with regards to it. So when it is the night of the 23^rd, it gets accomplished, so it happens to be from the inevitable, there be no change for it from the Blessed and High’.
