Are there other signs of the Night of Decree not mentioned in the Prophetic hadiths?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And are there signs of the Night of Decree that one who experiences it can observe, other than those reported in the hadiths?

The Shaykh : No, I said earlier, pointing out that these signs are not felt by the one who sees the Night of Decree through that visual sight. But because one might be, for example, in a mosque like the old mosques where a person does not feel the external atmosphere; as you know, it is reported in some hadiths that the atmosphere in it is moderate, with no coldness and no heat, and among its signs is that the sun is seen in the morning of that night like a basin, having no rays. But when is this? After the night has ended. But this does not mean that all the people who were...

Another questioner : ...experiencing it.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, they were seeking it and experiencing it; no, but this is an indication that this night is the Night of Decree. And I said—perhaps soon with my brother Abu 'Abdullah or someone else—approximately on this topic: that, for example, among Muslims, even in Ramadan, some do not pray; do you understand that these people see the Night of Decree and have seen the sun in the morning of that night like a basin? Of course, these people cannot see the Night of Decree while they are disobedient to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), even in the blessed month. Let us rise a little to the worshippers of Ramadan, those who only pray in Ramadan, and as soon as Ramadan ends here, they turn their backs. Do you think these are the ones who qualify for this visual sight of the Night of Decree? No; this, in truth, requires people who are devoted in worship, with pure intentions and hearts with the Lord of the Worlds; so these people, perhaps our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) will grant them this blessing that the Lady 'Aishah pointed to by saying: "If I see or know of the Night of Decree, what should I say?" He said:
Say: O Allah, indeed I قولي : اللهم إني
