عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت قلت : يا رسول الله أرأيت إن علمت أي ليلة ليلة القدر ما أقول فيها ؟ قال : [ قولي : اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked: O Messenger of Allah! If I realize Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), what should I supplicate in it? He (PBUH) replied, You should supplicate: Allahumma innaka `afuwwun, tuhibbul-`afwa, fa`fu `anni (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me). [At-Tirmidhi]. Commentary: Although no specific sign of Lailat-ul-Qadr has been mentioned in the Ahadith, some eminent scholars have stated, on the basis of their own experiences and observation, that since angels descend on this night, one feels a peculiar tranquillity and peace of mind and one is overwhelmed with a unique tenderness of heart. The night is neither very hot nor very cold but a temperate one. Similarly, the sun that rises on the next day is also not very hot etc. etc. Allah knows the truth of the matter despite all that has been said in this regard. In any case, on this auspicious night every Muslim should earnestly pray to Allah for the forgiveness of his sins with reference to His Attribute of Forgiveness.
