It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he was sitting by the well of Zamzam and people were asking him questions of knowledge, when a man came and asked him about the saying of Allah Almighty "And by the night when it departs" [Surah al-Muddaththir: 33], at which he (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent. Then when the mu'adhdhin raised the call to prayer, or the caller called out, he (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Where is the man who asked about 'And by the night when it departs'?" Then, explaining its meaning, he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The night has turned its back and departed."
Imam Musaddad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this incident with his chain.
