[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ mentioned a man from the Children of Israel who wore armor in the path of Allah for a thousand months. The Muslims were amazed by this. Allah then revealed, "Indeed, We sent it down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months." (Surah Al-Qadr, verse 2) This refers to the night in which the man wore armor in the path of Allah for a thousand months, and this is the revelation.
