He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So what is the meaning of ‘It gets accomplished during the 23 rd ?’ He -asws said: ‘It is Made to be distinct during the night of the 21 st , and there happens to be the Change with regards to it. So when it is the night of the 23 rd , it gets accomplished, so it happens to be from the inevitable, there be no change for it from the Blessed and High’.
And by this chain, from Abaan, from Abu Baseer, who has said: Abu Ja’far -asws and Abu Abdullah -asws , that the two of them -asws said: ‘When the people belied the Rasool -saww Allah -azwj , Allah -azwj Blessed and High Decided to Destroy the people of the earth except for Ali -asws and no one else by His -azwj Statement: “[51:54] Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame” . Then Changed it for them so He -azwj was Merciful to the Believers.
Then He -azwj Said to His -azwj Prophet -saww : “[51:55] And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers” .
