Ordinance of goodness during the four blessed nights of the year
Allah ordains goodness during four nights: (1) the night of ˹the ʿĪd of˺ Adḥá and (2) ˹the ʿĪd of˺ Fiṭr, (3) the night of the middle of Shaʿbān – where the lifespans and provisions are ordained and the ˹upcoming performance˺ of Ḥajj is ordained – and (4) the night of ʿArafah until the Ādhān.
«يَنْسَخُ اللَّه ﷻ الخَيْرَ فِى أَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ نَسخًا: (١) ليلةِ الأضحى، (٢) والفطر، (٣) وليلةِ النصفِ مِنْ شعبَانَ يَنْسخُ فِيهَا الآجال والأرْزَاق ويُكْتَبُ فِيهَا الحَجُّ، (٤) وفِى ليْلةِ عرفَةَ إِلى الأذَانِ۔»
