The movement of the Night of Decree in the last ten nights
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Okay, will it be the last one?
Another questioner:
Does the Night of Decree move around, or is it fixed on one specific night?
The Shaykh:
It moves around.
Another questioner:
It moves with its price. Did the Messenger see it once in his life, or multiple times?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it appears to be once.
Another questioner:
Fine, here it says Sa'id, the hadith of Abu Sa'id is on the twenty-first, and Abdullah Anis said the twenty-third.
The Shaykh:
In different years, in such a year, and in such a year, in a year it was revealed to him, then he followed a man, then it was raised, and Allah has wisdom in that. If people knew it was on a specific night, they might have focused their efforts on that night and neglected the rest of the nights. But among the wisdom of Allah is that it is shared among all ten nights, sometimes like this, and sometimes like that, so that Muslims strive in all the nights.
Another questioner:
O people. Meaning he saw it twice. Come on.
The Shaykh:
Or more. The separation.
