10. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn al-Walid and Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Yunus ibn Ya’qub from Ali ibn ’Isa al-Qammat from his uncle who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that in his dream, the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, saw banu ‘Umayyah climb on his pulpit after him and mislead people from the right path and take them backward. He remained sad and depressed. Jibril came and asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, why are you sad and depressed?’ He replied, ‘O Jibril, in my dream last night, I saw banu ‘Umayyah climb my pulpit, mislead people from the right path and take them backward.’ He (Jibril) said, ‘I swear by the One who has sent you as a prophet in all truth that I have no information about this matter.’ The Messenger of Allah (Jibril) ascended to the heaven and, after a little while, came back with a verse of the Holy Quran to comfort him. “Consider, if We allow them to enjoy for a few years, then the thing about which they were warned comes upon them, and whatever they enjoyed will be of no benefit for them.” (26:205) He revealed to him, “We have revealed the Holy Quran in the night of destiny. What do you think you know about the night of destiny? The night of destiny is better than one thousand months.’ Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has made the night of destiny better than one thousand months for His prophet. It (one thousand nights) is equal to the life of the kingdom of banu ‘Umayyah.’”
10ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عِيسَى الْقَمَّاطِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
رَأَى رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فِي مَنَامِهِ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ يَصْعَدُونَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَيُضِلُّونَ النَّاسَ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ الْقَهْقَرَى فَأَصْبَحَ كَئِيباً حَزِيناً قَالَ فَهَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله مَا لِي أَرَاكَ كَئِيباً حَزِيناً قَالَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ فِي لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ يَصْعَدُونَ مِنْبَرِي مِنْ بَعْدِي وَيُضِلُّونَ النَّاسَ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ الْقَهْقَرَى فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً إِنَّ هَذَا شَيْ‏ءٌ مَا اطَّلَعْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَجَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ بِآيٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ يُؤْنِسُهُ بِهَا قَالَ أَ فَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَتَّعْناهُمْ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ جاءَهُمْ ما كانُوا يُوعَدُونَ ما أَغْنى‏ عَنْهُمْ ما كانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَما أَدْراكَ ما لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ جَعَلَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ لِنَبِيِّهِ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرِ مُلْكِ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ.
