- Ahl-ul Bayt in Surat Al-Qadr:
Imam Sadiq (PBUH) said :"{ Verily! We revealed it on the Night of Fate (Al-Qader)}. The night is Fatima and Al-Qader is Allah. So whoever beholds the reality of Fatima, has acknowledged the
night of Al-Qader. Indeed! She was named Fatima because knowing Her was prevented from all mankind."[1]
Ameer Al-Mo'mineen (pbuh) said: "When this Sourah descended(surat Al-Qadr), your grandfather, the Messenger of Allah, send someone to call me, so he recited it on me and stroke his hand on
my right shoulder and said: "O my brother, custodian, successor over my nation and my fighter against my enemies until the Day of Resurrection! This Sourah is for you after me
and for your two sons after you. Jebra'eel, my brother from the angels, narrated the events that will occur in my nation by year and he will narrate it to you like prophecies and it has a light
that shines in your hearts and in the hearts of
your custodians until the rise of the dawn of Al-Qa'im.[2]
Imam Al-Sadiq (pbu) also said, explaining the saying of Allah:{ It is peace until the rise of the dawn,}: "It means until Al-Qa'im (pbuh) rises."[3]
- Virtues and rewards of The night of fate:
Reported from the Messenger of Allah (Pbuhp) that he said that Moussa (pbuh) said: “O Allah, I want to be close to you.” Allah said: “my closeness is to he who stays awake (worshiping) on
the night of fate.” Then Moussa said: “O Allah, I want your mercy.” Allah said: “My mercy is upon he who is merciful to the poor on the night of fate.” Then Moussa said: “O Allah, I want to pass
on the path.” Allah said: “he who does a righteous deed on the night of fate earns this.” Moussa said: “O Allah, I want the trees of heaven and its fruits.” Allah said: “this is for he who exalts
on the night of fate.” Moussa said: “I want to be saved from hell.” Allah said: “this is for he who asks forgiveness on the night of fate.” Moussa said: “O Allah, I want your contentment.” Allah
said: “My contentment is upon he who prays 2 Rakaa’s on the night of fate.”[4]
Reported from the Messenger of Allah (Pbuhp) that he said: “ The doors of heaven open on the night of fate. Allah creates a tree in heaven for every prostration of a praying servant on this
night. Such tree that if a night rides under its shadow for a hundred years, he doesn’t cross its shadow. Allah builds a home of pearls, aquamarine, and rubies for every Rakaa, Allah creates him
a crown from the crowns of heaven for every verse he recites. Allah creates him a noble bird for every exaltation, rises him a rank in heaven for every time he sits, creates him a land from the
lands of heaven for every time he says the two testimonies, and an apparel from the apparels of heaven for every time he salutes. When the morning rises Allah grants him thousands of maids,
immortal children, running rivers, bliss, masterpieces and presents, and everything the self and eyes desire {and you are immortal in it}”[5]
Reported from Imam Baqir (Pbuh): “he who worships all night at the night of fate shall have all his sins remitted, even if his sins were in the count of the stars and the weight of
mountains and the volume of mountains.”[6]
Reported that some companions of Imam Abou Abdellah (Pbuh) asked him: “how is the night of fate better than a thousand months?” Imam (Pbuh) said: “work on this night is better than work of
a thousand months that have no night of fate.”
Imam Abou Abdellah (Pbuh) said: “it is once each year. Its day is like its night” [7]
Imam Abou Abdellah (Pbuh) said: “on the 19th night of Ramadan Month the two matters are gathered, on the 21st night every wise Amr is distributed, and on the 23rd night Allah destines what
He pleases and it is the night of fate. Allah said {it is better than a thousand months}”
I asked: “what does ‘the two matters are gathered’ mean?”
Imam (Pbuh) said: “Allah gathers what he wants to forward and what he wants to delay along with his Will and Verdicts”
I asked: “what does ‘Allah destines on the 23rd night’ mean?”
Imam (Pbuh) Allah destines on the 21st night yet it is subjected to Badaa (change) yet on the 23rd night what He destined becomes inevitable and it isn’t subjected to
Badaa.”[8]
