Which was revealed in Makkah
In Musnad Al-Bazzar, it is recorded from Abu At-Tufayl `Amir bin Wathilah from Zayd bin Harithah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Ibn Sayyad:
«إِنِّي قَدْ خَبَأْتُ خَبْأً فَمَا هُوَ؟»
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ 'blessed night', in verse 2 according to majority of the Commentators, refers to 'laylatul Qadr' or the 'Night of Power' which occurs in the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. During this night Allah sends down countless blessings for his slaves/servants. It has been explicitly mentioned in Surah Al-Qadr, thus:
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
