Knowing the Night of Decree after the end of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Do you know the Night of Decree after the month of Ramadan has ended, that it was on such-and-such a night?
Answer:
No one knows it for certain. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know it with precision; rather, he sought it out. As you have in Sahih al-Bukhari, and it will come to you shortly, he went out intending to inform them of the Night of Decree, but so-and-so and so-and-so quarreled, and a dispute arose between them. They came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and it was lifted, meaning it was lifted from his memory (peace and blessings be upon him), so he no longer remembered it. And this is said to be a good thing, as it comes in the hadith: "Perhaps it is a good thing," so that we strive and seek it out throughout the month. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
