\n> When al-Hajj\u0101j saw him, he said: \u2018I had long wished to find a way against you.\u2019<\/strong>
\n><\/strong>
\n> Kumayl replied: \u2018Do not bare your fangs at me, nor bluster against me. By Allah, there remains of my life no more than the fading remnants of dust. So do whatever you are going to do, for the appointment is with Allah, and after killing comes the reckoning. The Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, informed me that you would be my killer.\u2019<\/strong>
\n><\/strong>
\n> Al-Hajj\u0101j said to him: \u2018Then that is proof against you.\u2019<\/strong>
\n><\/strong>
\n> Kumayl replied: \u2018That would only be so if judgment rested with you.\u2019<\/strong>
\n><\/strong>
\n> He said: \u2018Indeed! You were among those involved in the killing of \u02bfUthm\u0101n ibn \u02bfAff\u0101n! Strike off his neck!\u2019 So his neck was struck.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n><\/strong>
\n> I say: And I found in another narration the following wording:<\/strong>
\n><\/strong>
\n> Kumayl ibn Ziy\u0101d said: I was sitting with my master, the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, in the Mosque of Basra, together with a group of his companions. One of them asked:<\/strong>
\n><\/strong>
\n> \u2018What is the meaning of the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: <\/strong>
\n> **\u201cOn that night every wise matter is made distinct\u201d** [Qur\u2019an 44:4]?\u2019<\/strong>
\n><\/strong>
\n> He, peace be upon him, said: \u2018It is the night of the middle of Sha\u02bfb\u0101n. By Him in whose hand is the soul of \u02bfAl\u012b, there is no servant except that all that will occur to him\u2014whether good or evil\u2014is apportioned for him on the night of the middle of Sha\u02bfb\u0101n until the end of the year, up to the coming of a night like this one. And there is no servant who keeps vigil on this night and supplicates with the supplication<\/strong>
\n**Translation:**<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n> “When al-Hajj\u0101j was appointed as governor, he sought out Kumayl ibn Ziy\u0101d. Kumayl fled from him, so al-Hajj\u0101j deprived his tribe of their stipends. When Kumayl saw this, he said: ‘I am an elderly man, and my life has nearly ended. It is not right that my people should be deprived of their stipends because of me.’ He then emerged and surrendered himself to al-Hajj\u0101j. <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> When al-Hajj\u0101j saw him, he said: ‘I have long desired to find a way to deal with you.’ <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> Kumayl replied: ‘Do not bare your fangs at me, nor threaten me. By Allah, nothing remains of my life except the fleeting dust of old age. Do whatever you must do, for my appointment is with Allah, and after death comes judgment. The Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) informed me that you would be my killer.’ <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> Al-Hajj\u0101j said: ‘Then that is evidence against you.’ <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> Kumayl replied: ‘That would only be true if judgment rested with you.’ <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> Al-Hajj\u0101j said: ‘Indeed, you were among those who killed \u02bfUthm\u0101n ibn \u02bfAff\u0101n! Strike off his head!’ So his neck was struck.” <\/strong>

\n> This account is also reported by narrators of the Sunni community through their reliable sources, and the Shi\u02bfa share in transmitting it as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n> “Among the prayers for this night\u2014the 15th of Sha\u02bfb\u0101n\u2014is what we narrated through our chain to my grandfather Ab\u016b Ja\u02bffar al-\u1e6c\u016bs\u012b (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: It is reported that Kumayl ibn Ziy\u0101d al-Nakha\u02bf\u012b saw the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) reciting this supplication on the night of the 15th of Sha\u02bfb\u0101n.” <\/strong>

\n> I say: I found in another narration the following wording: <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> Kumayl ibn Ziy\u0101d said: I was sitting with my master, the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him), in the Mosque of Basra, along with a group of his companions. One of them asked: <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> **”What is the meaning of Allah\u2019s saying:** <\/strong>
\n> *\u2018In it is distinguished every decisive matter\u2019* (Qur\u2019an 44:4)?” <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> He (peace be upon him) replied: <\/strong>
\n> **”It is the 15th night of Sha\u02bfb\u0101n. By Him in whose hand is \u02bfAl\u012b\u2019s soul, there is no servant whose entire fate\u2014good and evil\u2014is not decreed for the coming year on this night. No servant who spends this night in vigilance and recites the supplication of al-Kha\u1e0dir (peace be upon him) will go unanswered.”** <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> When I left, he called me back at night and said: “What brings you, Kumayl?” <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> I said: “O Commander of the Faithful! The supplication of al-Kha\u1e0dir!” <\/strong>
\n> <\/strong>
\n> He said: “Sit down, Kumayl. If you memorize this supplication, recite it every Friday night, or once a month, or once a year, or even once in your life, and you will be protected, aided, and sustained with provision, and forgiveness will never be denied you. O Kumayl! Our generosity to you for your long companionship is to grant what you have asked.”\u00b9\u00b9<\/strong><\/p>\n
