The Night of Destiny

9ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) التَّقْدِيرُ فِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَالإِبْرَامُ فِي لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَالإِمْضَاءُ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ.
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 عليه السلام, 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.’”
