Hadith 620
۞
2. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hussain bin Abi’l-Khattab, from Muhammed bin Ubaid bin Mahran, from Saleh bin ‘Uqba, from Mufaddal bin Umar, that he said
At the presence of Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, it was mentioned: «Indeed, We sent it down during the night of destiny» (97:1). He said: How clear is its preference over other chapters. He said: I said: And what thing is its preference? He said: The Divine Authority of the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, was revealed in it. I said: In the night of destiny that we hope for during the Month of Ramadhan? He said: Yes, it is a night in which the Heavens and the earth were destined, and the Divine Authority of the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, was destined in it.

ذكر عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام " إنا أنزلناه في ليلة القدر " قال: ما أبين فضلها على السور. قال: قلت: وأي شئ فضلها؟ قال: نزلت ولاية أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام فيها. قلت: في ليلة القدر التي نرتجيها في شهر رمضان. قال: نعم، هي ليلة قدرت فيها السماوات والأرض وقدرت ولاية أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام فيها.
