“A man stood up in front of Al-Hasan bin Ali, after he pledged to Mu’awiyah, so he said: ‘You have made fools of the believers.’ – or: ‘O you who has made fools of the believers’ – So he said: ‘Do not scold me so, may Allah have mercy upon you, for indeed the Prophet had a dream in which he saw Banu Umayyah upon his Minbar. That distressed him, so (the following) was revealed: Verily We have granted you Al-Kauthar (O Muhammad) meaning a river in Paradise, and (the following) was revealed: ‘Verily We have sent it down on the Night of Al-Qadr. And what will make you know what the Night of Al-Qadr is? The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months, in which Banu Umayyah rules after you O Muhammad.” Al-Qasim said: “So we counted them, and found that they were one-thousand months, not a day more nor less.”

[Machine] A man approached Hasan ibn Ali and said, "O you who have blackened the face of the believers!" Hasan replied, "Do not rebuke me, may Allah have mercy on you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw the Umayyads delivering sermons on his pulpit, one man after another, and it displeased him. Then the verse 'Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar'—a river in Paradise—was revealed. And the Surah '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' was revealed, over which the Umayyads would rule. This is sufficient for us, and it neither increases nor decreases." This is a sound chain of narration, and the one who said this to Hasan ibn Ali was Sufyan ibn al-Layl, a companion of his father.

[Machine] A man criticized Hasan ibn Ali when he pledged allegiance to Muawiya, saying that Hasan had brought shame to the believers and had done this and that. Hasan replied, "Do not blame me, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw the Umayyads taking turns on his pulpit, one after another, and it distressed him and concerned him, so Allah Almighty revealed: 'Indeed, We have granted you Al-Kawthar,' a river in Paradise. And He also revealed: 'Indeed, We sent it down during the Night of Decree. And what will make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months' during which they will rule after you.” This was omitted by Al-Dhahabi from his summary due to its weakness.

[Machine] "Do not blame me, may Allah have mercy on you. Surely the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had shown me the Banu Umayyah delivering sermons on his pulpit one by one, and this disturbed him. Then this verse was revealed: 'Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], al-Kawthar. A river in Paradise.' And this verse was also 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.' Banu Umayyah claimed ownership of this, and Al-Qasim said, 'We thought it was only a thousand, without increase or decrease.'"
