حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن محمد بن عبيد بن مهران، عن صالح بن عقبة، عن المفضل بن عمر، قال: ذكر عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام "
إنا أنزلناه في ليلة القدر " قال: ما أبين فضلها على السور. قال: قلت: وأي شئ فضلها؟ قال: نزلت ولاية أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام فيها. قلت: في ليلة القدر التي نرتجيها في شهر رمضان. قال: نعم، هي ليلة قدرت فيها السماوات والأرض وقدرت ولاية أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام فيها.
2. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hussain bin Abi’l-Khattab, from Muhammed bin Ubaid bin Mahran, from Saleh bin ‘Uqba, from Mufaddal bin Umar, that he said: At the presence of Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, it was mentioned:
«Indeed, We sent it down during the night of destiny» (97:1). He said: How clear is its preference over other chapters. He said: I said: And what thing is its preference? He said: The Divine Authority of the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, was revealed in it. I said: In the night of destiny that we hope for during the Month of Ramadhan? He said: Yes, it is a night in which the Heavens and the earth were destined, and the Divine Authority of the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, was destined in it.
