280. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from yunus, from Ali Bin Isa Al-Qammaat, from his uncle who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘Jibraeel descended upon the Rasool Allah (saww) whilst the Rasool Allah (saww) was gloomy and sad. So he said; ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), what is it that I see you (saww) to be gloomy and sad?’ He (saww) said: ‘I (saww) had a dream last night’. He said: ‘And what is it that you (saww) saw?’ He (saww) said: ‘I (saww) saw the Clan of Umayya ascending the Pulpit and descending from it’. He said: ‘And by the One Who (azwj) Sent you (saww) as a Prophet (saww) with the Truth, I do not know anything about this’. And Jibraeel ascended to the sky, then Allah (azwj), Majestic is His (azwj) Mention, Made him descend with a Verse from the Quran to comfort him (saww) by: “[26:205] Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years, [26:206] Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened [26:207] That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?”. And Allah (azwj) Revealed: “[97:1] We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power [97:2] And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? [97:3] The Night of Power is better than a thousand months”. So Allah (azwj) Made the Night of Power for His (azwj) Messenger (saww) to be better than a thousand months (of the Clan of Umayya)’.
