According to another narration of Mujahid cited in Ibn Jarir, a worshipper from among the Children of Israel used to worship Allah the whole night, and as soon as the dawn broke, he would arm himself and fight the whole day. On that occasion, this Surah was revealed which describes that worship in the Night of Qadr granted to this Ummah exceeds by more than a thousand months of jihad persistently fought by that warrior. The Companions were amazed when they heard this.

Ibn Abi Hatim has reported from Mujhid (as mursal hadith) that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was told about a mujahid from amongst the Children of Israel who carried weapons of war on his shoulders for a thousand months during which time he never laid down his arms. The angels and the Spirit descend in it, with the leave of your Lord, along with every command.The Night of Qadr is much better than one thousand months.And what may let you know what the Night of Qadr is?.We have sent it (the Qur‘an) down in the Night of Qadr.In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Tanaz zalul malaa-ikatu war roohu feeha bi izni-rab bihim min kulli amr.
