 There is no miracle to be found here. Apologists have manipulated data and used an un-Islamic method of counting days within a year to make the numbers "fit".
+===The 92 nights non-miracle===
+The word "night" (ٱلَّيْل, ''al-layl'') is not mentioned 365 times in the Qur'an, although there are 365 nights in a year. If we count all the forms of this word, then it appears 92 times <ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=lyl</ref>. So the Qur'an is not very consistent with its "miracles".
+Some apologist websites, when listing the numerical miracles, also show this verse <ref>http://www.harunyahya.com/en/Miracles-of-the-Quran/27625/word-repetitions-in-the-quran</ref>:
+* 4:82 "''Will they not ponder the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it.''"
+Although the Qur'an itself refutes this verse by adopting an [[Abrogation (Naskh)|abrogation]] principle, to get rid of inconsistencies, it is also refuted by the fact that the word count for "night" is inconsistent with the word count for "day". This inconsistence also shows how apologists show only the cases where the word counts fit and don't show the cases where the word counts don't fit. By this cherry-picking tactic they create a false impression that the Qur'an is full of word count miracles.
