Hadith.2024 - Humran asked Abu Ja'far (as) about the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic: "Indeed, We sent it down on a blessed night" (Surah Ad-Dukhan 44:3).
Imam (as) replied: "It is Laylatul Qadr, and it occurs every year in the Month of Ramadan, during its last ten nights. The Quran was revealed only on Laylatul Qadr.
Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Therein every wise matter is made distinct' (Surah Ad-Dukhan 44:4)."
Imam (as) continued: "On Laylatul Qadr, everything that will occur in that year, up to its equivalent time in the following year, is decreed — whether good or evil, obedience or disobedience, life or death, or sustenance. Whatever is decreed and decided on that night is inevitable. Yet, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has the will (to alter decrees as He pleases)."
Humran then asked: "Laylatul Qadr is better than a thousand months — what does this mean?" Imam (as) replied: "Righteous deeds on Laylatul Qadr are better than those performed over a thousand months. Were it not for Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, multiplying the rewards for believers, they would not reach this merit. However, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, multiplies good deeds for them."
