"Whoever performs wudu and performs wudu, well, then prays ('Abdur-Rahman said: and prays Isha), then prays after that four Rakahs and does them well (Sawwar said: and understands what he is reciting (Sawwar said: and recites therein), they will be equivalent to (praying) Lailat Al-Qadr for him".

[Machine] Whoever performs ablution and perfects their ablution, then prays the evening prayer, followed by four units of prayer, completes the bowing and prostration in them, and learns what is recited in them, will be rewarded as if they have observed the Night of Decree. Al-Bukhari indicated this in his Tarikh (history) and he and others used it as evidence that his hadith about the reward of observing the Night of Decree is disconnected in relation to the eight-unit prayer.
