1378. It was reported from Āšim from Zirr, who said: "I asked Ubay bin Ka'b: 'Inform us of Lailat Al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), for our companion was asked about it, and he said: "Whoever stands the whole year will catch it!" He replied: 'May Allāh have mercy on Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān, for by Allāh he knows that it is in Ramaḍān'" — Musad-dad (one of the narrators) added: "but he disliked that they should rely on it, or he liked that they not rely on it" — then they (the narrators) were in accord (in the rest of the narration): "'By Allāh! Indeed it is in Ramaḍān, on the twenty-seventh night' — and he didn't say: 'If Allāh wills.' I asked him: 'O Abū
Al-Mundhir! How do you know this?' He replied: 'By the sign that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has told us about it.'"
I ('Āšim) said to Zirr: "What sign?" He said: "The sun rises on the day after it like a shield, having no rays until it has risen." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
1. Worship during Lailat Al-Qadr (the Night of Power) is better than that of a thousand nights.
2. It is only an indication that the previous night was the Night of Power. If one sees it, he should thank Allāh for his good fortune, and if he did not, he should long, and try for it the next year.
