THE NIGHT OF POWER - Excellence and greatness

Deduction from Surah Al Qadr

There is a narration on the authority of Hadhrat Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) that Shab Qadr is on the 27th night of Ramadhan.  Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Abbas (May Allah be well pleased with them) deduces from the words of Shab Qadr that there are 30 words in Sura Qadr.  Among them the pronoun Hiya (meaning that night i.e. Shab Qadr) is the 27th one, as given in Fath Ul Bari the great interpretation of Sahih Bukhari:

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him) that Shab Qadr is the 27^th night of Ramadhan.  A similar narration is related on the authority of Hadhrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (May Allah be well pleased with him) as well and he has deduced this from the fact there are 30 words in Sura Qadr and the pronoun Hiya (meaning that night i.e. Shab Qadr) is the 27th one.
