[Machine] That we descend with our families and wives, for we fear for them the loss if we descend and leave them. And we dislike that this night passes us by. So, do you have to send us to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mention this to him and ask him to command us with a night that we descend? Abdullah then said, "So they sent me, and I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him and asked him to command us with a night that we descend." He (the Prophet) said, "Descend on the 23rd night." Abdullah would then descend on that night, and when morning came, he would return.
