١٢ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ رَبِيعٍ الْمُسْلِيِّ وَزِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَلاَّلِ ذَكَرَاهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ فِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ التَّقْدِيرُ وَفِي لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ الْقَضَاءُ وَفِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ إِبْرَامُ مَا يَكُونُ فِي السَّنَةِ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا لله جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ فِي خَلْقِهِ. 
12. A number of our people have narrated, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from Rabi’ al-Musliy and Ziyad ibn abu al- Hallal who have narrated it, from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that during the nineteenth night of the month of Ramadan is measurement and determination; in the twenty-first night is decision; and in the twenty-third night is verification of what has to take place during the coming year up to the next night of destiny. Allah, glorious is whose praise, does whatever He wills about His creature.”
