Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Its first part says in the hadith:Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 753 How does this descent take place, O Shaykh? Are they rewarded?
Answer:
As befits the majesty of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), we affirm it and believe in it, but we do not know its manner; no one knows it except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So we believe in it and in the fact that Allah descends every night when the last third of the night remains. This is a mass-transmitted report, so we believe in it and affirm the descent for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for its manner, we do not know it; Allah knows it best. Yes.
