[Machine] May Allah have mercy on Abu Abdul Rahman, he knew that it was in Ramadan, indeed it is on the 27th night. But he pretended to be unaware in order for people not to rely on it. By the One who revealed the Book upon Muhammad, indeed it is on the 27th night of Ramadan. I said, "O Abu Al-Mundhir, how did you come to know?" He said, "By the verse that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us of." So we counted and memorized. By Allah, it is indeed a special night. I asked Zir, "What is the verse?" He said, "Verily, the sun rises, dispersing its rays."
يَرْحَمُ اللهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّهَا لِسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَكِنَّهُ عَمَّى عَلَى النَّاسِ لِكَيْ لَا يَتَّكِلُوا فَوَالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ الْكِتَابَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّهَا فِيرَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ وَأَنَّى عَلِمْتَهَا؟ قَالَ بِالْآيَةِ الَّتِي أَنْبَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَدَدْنَا وَحَفِظْنَا فَوَاللهِ إِنَّهَا لَهِيَ مَا يُسْتَثْنَى قُلْتُ لِزِرٍّ مَا الْآيَةُ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ غَدَاةَ إِذٍ كَأَنَّهَا طَسْتٌ لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ
