Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.} [Quran 97:4-5] It is narrated on the authority of Zirr ibn Hubaysh that he heard Ubayy ibn Ka‘b on being told that ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas‘ood had said, “He who stands for (supererogatory) prayer (every night) throughout the year, will happen to witness the Night of Al-Qadr”, commented, “By Allaah except for whom there is no deity, that is in (the month of) Ramadhaan. (He took an unrestricted oath) By Allaah, I know the night: it was the night on which The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, ordered us to stand in prayer, that is, the eve of the twenty-seventh day, and its sign is that the sun rises whitish on that day without having rays.” [Muslim] According to another narration of this, "Its sign is that the sun rises in the next morning white without rays, as if it were a round tray.” [Ibn Hibbaan] It is also narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas‘ood that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "Indeed, the Night of Al-Qadr is on the middle night of the last seven (nights) of Ramadhaan. The following morning, the sun rises pure without rays." Ibn Mas‘ood said, "I looked at it and found it just the same as described by the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam." [Ahmad] It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "The Night of Al-Qadr is on the twenty-seventh or the twenty-ninth [of Ramadhaan]. On that night, the angels on earth are more numerous than its pebbles." [Ahmad] It is narrated on the authority of ‘Ubaadah ibn As-Saamit that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "Indeed, the sign of the Night of Al-Qadr is that it is bright and pure as if the moon is shining in it, still and tranquil, neither cold nor hot. On it, it is impossible for a star to be shot [at a devil] until morning comes. Its [other] sign is that in the morning after it, the sun rises brightly and without rays, similar to a full moon; and it is impossible for Satan to come out with it on that day." [Ahmad] It is further narrated on the authority of Jaabir that he said: “The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘I was shown (in a vision) the night of Al-Qadr, but later I forgot it. It is one of the last ten nights of Ramadhaan. It is shining and bright, neither hot nor cold, as if it has a full moon revealing its stars. On it the devil does not come out before its dawn rises.’" [Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Hibbaan] It is narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbaas that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, concerning the night of Al-Qadr: "It is a shining night, neither hot nor cold, and in the morning next to it the sun rises red with no rays." [Ibn Khuzaymah]
