You should perform salat (prayer) as much as you can in optional forms during the nights and days. If you can, perform a thousand Rak’at salat (prayer) every twenty-four hours you can. Imam Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, toward the end of his life would say one thousand Rak’at salat (prayer) in twenty-four hours. O abu Muhammad, you should perform more salat (prayer) during the month of Ramadan.’ I then asked, ’I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, how many Rak’ats (should one perform)?’ He said, ’During the first twenty nights, say twenty Rak’ats each night; eight Rak’ats before al-‘Atmah (late evening) and twelve Rak’ats thereafter, besides the prayers you would say before.

Then, after he came out, they would come and stand up behind him (for prayer), but he would leave them and go inside several times.’ He (the narrator) has said that the Imam then said, ‘You must not perform salat (prayer) after late evening prayer during the times other than the month of Ramadan.’”

He (the Messenger of Allah) performed eight Rak‘at after al-Maghrib prayer and twelve after ‘Isha’ (late evening) prayer. He would take a shower on the nineteenth, twenty-first and twenty-third nights. In those nights, he performed one hundred Rak‘at prayers in each Rak‘at, of which he read Chapter 1 and Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran ten times.

You should try to pray for the realization of your wishes during the twenty-first or twenty-third nights. You should perform one hundred Rak‘at salat (prayer) during each of these nights and remain awake if you can, up to daylight, and take a shower during both nights.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What should I do if I cannot do this in a standing position?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘You can say it in a sitting position.’ I then asked, ‘What should I do if I cannot do this also?’ He said, ‘You can say it while in your bed. It does not matter if you just slept very lightly at the beginning of the night. The doors of the sky remain open during the month of Ramadan, Satans are nailed down, and the deeds of believing people are accepted. The month of Ramadan is a very good month. During the time of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, it was called “provider of sustenance”.”’
3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Once I asked one of the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about signs of the night of destiny. He replied, ‘One of the signs of this night is sweet fragrance; during the cold season it is warm, and during the hot season it is cool and pleasant.’ Someone asked him about the night of destiny. He (the Imam) replied, ‘The angels and scribes come down to the sky above the world and then they write down all that has to happen during the year and what people will experience therein. Its affairs are withheld with Him. In it He has a wish and thus He brings forward whatever He wishes or delays whatever He wishes. He confirms whatever He wishes and deletes whatever He wishes; the mother book is with Him.’”
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from more than one person who have said the following: “Certain individuals of our people - the only one of these people I know is Sa‘id al-Samman- asked abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘Why is it that the night of destiny is better than one thousand months? 5 He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is because doing good deeds during this night is better than doing good deeds in one thousand months that do not have the night of destiny.’”
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Torah was revealed during the sixth night of the month of Ramadan. Injil (New Testament) was revealed during the twelfth night of the month of Ramadan. Al-Zabbur, (Psalms) was revealed during the eighteenth night of the month of Ramadan; and the Holy Quran was revealed during the night of destiny.’”
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from al-Fudayl, Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim from Humran who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the following words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious: ‘We have revealed it during the blessed night.’ (44:3) He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is the night of destiny. Every year this night is during the last ten days in the month of Ramadan. It was the night of destiny and no other night when the Holy Quran was revealed. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, “During this night all matters of wisdom are differentiated.’” (44:4) He (Imam) said, ‘During the night of destiny, all things of good or evil, obedience or disobedience, birth or death, or sustenance that are to take place in the year up to the next month of Ramadan, are measured and determined. Whatever is measured and determined for that year becomes inevitable; however, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has a wish in it.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I then asked about the meaning of, “The night of destiny is better than one thousand nights?”’ He (Imam) replied, ‘Good deeds like salat (prayer), zakat and other forms of good are better than good deeds done in one thousand months wherein the night of destiny does not exist. Had it not been for the generosity of Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, toward the believing people, they could not gain any success, but Allah increases their good deeds (through our love).”’
7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from af-Sayyariy from certain individuals of our people from Dawud ibn Farqad who has said that narrated to him Ya’qub who has said the following: “I once heard a man asking abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the night of destiny, saying, ‘Please tell me about the night of destiny. Was it only just for one night, or it comes every year?’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, replied, ‘Had the night of destiny been removed, most certainly, the Holy Quran would also had been removed.’”
8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from abu ‘Abd Allah al-Mu’min from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I heard him (the Imam) say- when people said, “Sustenance is divided during the night in the middle of the month of Sha‘ban”-, ‘No, by Allah, that is in no other time besides the nineteenth night of the month of Ramadan, or the twenty-first or twenty-third night of this month. During the nineteenth night of this month, two groups meet; in the twenty-first night, all matters of wisdom are differentiated; and in the twenty-third night, whatever Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, wishes of such matters is approved. It is the night of destiny about which Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, . . the night of destiny is better than one thousand months.’” He (the narrator) has said, ‘I then asked about the meaning of his words, “Two groups meet”?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Allah brings together in that night what He has decided, in matters to be brought forward or delayed, to decide or to approve it.’ I then said, ‘What is the meaning of, “approves it during the twenty-third night”?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘During the twenty-first night, He differentiates the rule. Then al- Bada’ may take place, therefore, in the twenty-third night is the approval and thus it becomes inevitable in such issues where al-Bada’ does not happen, Allah is most Blessed, the most High.’”
9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Measurement and determination is on the night of the nineteenth, verification is on the twenty- first night and final approval is on the twenty-third night.’”
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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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.’”
11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ibn Faddal from abu Jamilah from Rifa’ah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the night of destiny is the beginning of the year, and it also is the end of it (the year before).”
12. A number of our people have narrated, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from Rabi’ al-Musliy and Ziyad ibn abu al- Hallal who have narrated it, from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that during the nineteenth night of the month of Ramadan is measurement and determination; in the twenty-first night is decision; and in the twenty-third night is verification of what has to take place during the coming year up to the next night of destiny. Allah, glorious is whose praise, does whatever He wills about His creature.”
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from certain individuals of our people who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan, you should say the following prayer. ‘O Allah, I seek refuge with the glory of Your honorable face against the condition in which the month of Ramadan will pass or this night will dawn while I may have committed sins or such deeds for which I will deserve your punishment.’”
2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ayyub ibn Yaqtin or others from ’A’immah, recipients of divine supreme covenant, who have said the following: “During the first night of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan, recite this prayer. ‘O the One, (You have the power) to allow the night to penetrate into the day and the day to penetrate into the night. (You are) the One who brings out the living from the dead and brings the dead out of the living. O Provider of sustenance to whomever He wants without keeping any account. O Allah, the Beneficent, O Allah, O Merciful, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, You have all the beautiful names, the most high examples, the greatness and bounties. I appeal before You to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to your cause). I appeal before You to list my name in this night with the people of salvation, my spirit with the martyrs, my good deeds in ‘Illiyin (high position), and forgive my sins. O Allah, grant me a certainty that can remain in my heart, and a belief that can remove my doubts. O Allah, make me happy with what You have granted me for my share. Grant me good in this world and in the next life, and protect me against the burning fire. O Allah, grant me in this night the opportunity to speak of You, to thank You, be interested to come to You with repentance, and grant me the kind of good opportunity with which You granted success to Muhammad and Ale (family of) Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.’” “During the second night say this prayer. ‘O the One who separates the day from the night and then we are in the dark. O the One (it is You) who draws the sun in its place by his measures. O (Allah You are) Majestic, O all knowing, O the One who has measured the distance of journey of the moon until it seems like an old twig. O light of lights, O aim of all interests, O provider of all bounties, O Allah, O Beneficent, O Allah, O Holy, O the One, O the One only, O the single One, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, You possess all beautiful names. I appeal before You to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause) . . . read to the end the prayer mentioned above.’” “During the third night say the following prayer. ‘O Lord of the night of destiny, (it is You) who has made it better than one thousand months. O Lord of the day, night, mountains, oceans, darkness, light, earth and sky, O designer, the shape-giver, compassionate, (it is You) the One who grants favors. O Allah, O Beneficent, O Allah, O Guardian, O Allah, O the Inventor, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, (You are the one who) possesses all beautiful names, high examples, greatness and bounties. I appeal before You to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause) and list my name in this night with the people of salvation. Please list my spirit with the martyrs, my good deeds in ‘Illiyin (high position), and forgive my sins. O Allah, grant me a certainty that can remain in my heart, a belief that can remove my doubts and make me be happy with whatever sustenance You have granted to me, and grant me good in this life and in the next life. Protect me against the burning fire. Grant me in this night the opportunity to speak of You, thank You and become interested to come to You, repent before You, and grant me the opportunity with which You granted success to Muhammad and Ale (family of) Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.”
3. Ibn abu ‘Umayr has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Atiyyah who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that every night in the month of Ramadan you should say this prayer. ‘O Allah, I appeal before You in the case of whatever You decide and measure of the inevitable issues of the matters of wisdom, of the destiny that does not change or alter, to list my name among those who perform Hajj of Your respected House, with virtuous Hajj, expatiated wickedness, forgiven sins and appreciated efforts. O Allah, I appeal before You, in the case of whatever You decide and measure of the inevitable issues of the matters of wisdom, during the night of destiny, which does not change or alter, to grant me long life, increased sustenance, and take me in the service of Your religion and do not replace me with others.’”
4. Muhammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated through the chain of his narrators who has narrated the following:: “The virtuous ones, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, have said the following that you should repeat this prayer during the twenty-third night of the month of Ramadan, while in prostration, standing, sitting and in all conditions and during the whole month if you can or whenever you remember in your lifetime. After you praise Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, and ask, O Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause). You should say, ‘O Allah, for the person who possesses Your authority, so and so Imam (al-Hujjah ibn al-Hassan) be in this hour and every hour, a guardian, protector, supporter, guide, leader, and helper (and an eye) until You settle him on Your earth with obedience and grant him comfort for a long time.’” “During the fourth night, say this prayer: £ 0 the One who opens up the morning and makes the night calm and the sun and moon for calculation (of time) (I praise You). O Majestic, O all Knowing, O Generous, O Benevolent, O Powerful, O Resourceful, O Possessor of extra bounties, gifts, kingdom and honor, O Glorious and Honorable, O Allah, O Beneficent, O Allah, O the only One, O the One alone, O Allah, O Apparent, O Hidden, O Living, O Lord, no one deserves worship except You.

You have made the sun to show the existence of shadow, and You then make it shrink (toward You) gradually little by little. O Generous, O Benevolent, O possessor of greatness and bounties, no one deserves worship except You. You know the unseen and seen, You are the Beneficent, the Merciful, no one except You deserves worship.

Please list my name in this night with the people of salvation, my spirit with the martyrs, my good deeds in ‘Illiyin, and forgive my wickedness. O Allah, grant me a certainty that can remain with my heart, a belief that can remove my doubts and make me live happily with my share that You have granted to me.

I seek refuge with Your honorable face, against my remaining in a condition, O Lord, that this night ends up with dawn or the month of Ramadan ends up, but You will have (in record) against me consequences (of my deeds) or sins for which You want to punish me on the day I am brought in your presence.’”
6. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Ishaq from Sa‘dan ibn Muslim from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that to say farewell to the month of Ramadan say this. ‘O Allah, You have said in Your book, “The month of Ramadan is that when the Holy Quran was revealed.” This month of Ramadan has ended. If there are still sins on me that You have not forgiven or want to punish me for or scale and measure me thereby, I appeal before Your honorable face, and through Your complete words, before the dawn of this night and ending of this month, to forgive me for such sins. You are the most Merciful of all merciful ones. ‘O Allah, all praise belongs to You because of all of Your exalted attributes, the first and the last of them. All praise belongs to You because of such attributes that You have mentioned about yourself and about which praising creatures, the assiduous ones who are counted (to be among your friends), have spoken. (They are) those who respect the deed of speaking of You and thanking You, those whom You helped to observe and fulfill Your rights of all of Your creatures of the angels close to You, the prophets, the messengers and all kinds of creatures speaking of Your glory, of the beings of the worlds. You deserve all praise for bringing the month of Ramadan to an end while we enjoy your bounties, the share of the sustenance (from You), your favors and all apparent generosity. For this reason You deserve the ultimate praise, forever, endlessly, constantly, eternally, through all times that never end throughout eternity. Majestic is your glory. You have helped us during this month until we completed its fasting, salat (prayer), and whatever good deeds we could do or thanks we could express or speak of You. O Allah, accept it from us in the best manner of Your acceptance, consideration, pardoning, overlooking, forgiveness, and the reality of Your pleasure so that You grant us success with all good things desired and with best gifts bestowed, and protect us against all frightening matters, attracted afflictions or committed sins. ‘O Allah, I appeal before You through the greatest matters by which any of Your creatures have appealed before You, of Your honorable names, glorious praise, special prayers, to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause). Please make this month of Ramadan the best month of Ramadan that has ever passed on us from the time You sent us to this world. Make it a blessing in matters of safety of my religion, salvation of my soul and the realization of my wishes. Accept its intercession for my wishes, in the completion of bounties upon me, the repelling of wickedness from me, and my achievement of the dress of good health in it. Make me one of those who experience the blessing of the night of destiny that You have made better than a thousand months, in matters of great reward and honorable treasures, good manners of thanksgiving, long life and continued ease and comfort.’ ‘O Allah, I appeal before You through Your mercy, Your benevolence, Your pardoning, Your bounties, Your majesty, Your ever existing favors and generosity: do not make this the last month of Ramadan for us so that we may experience it in future in the best of conditions. Help us to recognize its new moon along with those who look for it and recognize its importance. Make it possible for me in good health, delightful bounties, the vast range of Your mercy, and the best of Your shares. O Lord, no one is my Lord besides You. I pray to You so this will not be my last farewell to it or the last occasion. Grant me the opportunity to experience it in the future, with a vast range of bounties and best hopes and to live before You with the best form of loyalty; You listen all prayers. ‘O Allah, listen to my prayers, be kind to me in my appeal, humble before You in my destitute condition, placing my trust in You while I am submitted before You. I do not have any hope for success, or good health, any honor, or the ability to reach anywhere without You and help from You. (O Allah), grant me the opportunity, Your praise is majestic and Your name is Holy, to experience the month of Ramadan in good health and safe from all difficulties, obstacles and all forms of misfortunes. All praise belongs to Allah for His helping us in fasting and worshipping up to the last of its nights during this month.”’
