[Machine] Tell me about the Night of Decree," for Abdullah said, "Whoever stands (in prayer) for it, he will be showered with its blessings." He said, "May Allah have mercy on Abu 'Abdur-Rahman. He knows that it is in Ramadan, but he stayed quiet in order not to burden the people. By Allah, it is on the twenty-seventh night." So I said to Abu Al-Mundhir, "How do you know that?" He said, "Through the verse by which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us. So we counted it and memorized it." Asim said, "I asked Zir, 'What is that verse?' He said, 'The rising of the white sun (a little intense light) which appears like the tumb (the full moon) and lasts until it rises." I kept asking him about it repeatedly and he answered me the same way.
