حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُجَاوِرُ فِى الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَيَقُولُ تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِى الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ. وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَأُبَىٍّ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَالْفَلَتَانِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِى سَعِيدٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ وَأَبِى بَكْرَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَبِلاَلٍ وَعُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَوْلُهَا يُجَاوِرُ يَعْنِى يَعْتَكِفُ. وَأَكْثَرُ الرِّوَايَاتِ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِى الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ فِى كُلِّ وِتْرٍ. وَرُوِىَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِى لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَيْلَةُ ثَلاَثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَخَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَتِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَآخِرُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى قَالَ الشَّافِعِىُّ كَأَنَّ هَذَا عِنْدِى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُجِيبُ عَلَى نَحْوِ مَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَلْتَمِسُهَا فِى لَيْلَةِ كَذَا فَيَقُولُ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِى لَيْلَةِ كَذَا. قَالَ الشَّافِعِىُّ وَأَقْوَى الرِّوَايَاتِ عِنْدِى فِيهَا لَيْلَةُ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ رُوِىَ عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحْلِفُ أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ. وَيَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِعَلاَمَتِهَا فَعَدَدْنَا وَحَفِظْنَا. وَرُوِىَ عَنْ أَبِى قِلاَبَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ تَنْتَقِلُ فِى الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ. حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِى قِلاَبَةَ بِهَذَا.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to take up residence nearby (1) during the last ten days of Ramaḍān and used to say, 'Seek the Glorious Night of Determination (2) during the last ten nights of Ramaḍān.'" Footnotes: (1) i.e. he used to seclude himself in the mosque adjacent to his house, as a voluntary retreat for intensified worship. (2) The night during which the Qur'ān was first revealed to prophet Muhammad. It occurs on one of the last ten nights of Ramadan, though God only knows which. The Qur'ān states that on this night, God determines the course of the world and all human affairs for the coming year. Click on ḥadīth to read more
حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الْكُوفِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّى عَلِمْتَ أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ بَلَى أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةٌ صَبِيحَتُهَا تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ. فَعَدَدْنَا وَحَفِظْنَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّهَا فِى رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَكِنْ كَرِهَ أَنْ يُخْبِرَكُمْ فَتَتَّكِلُوا. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Zirr Ibn-Hubaysh said, "I asked Ubaī Ibn-Ka'b, 'How did you know, Abā al-Munthir (1), that it (the Glorious Night of Determination) (2) is the twenty-seventh night [of Ramaḍān]?' He replied, 'Indeed, the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, informed us that, "On the morning following that night, the sun rises without emitting any rays." So we counted (3) and memorized it. By God, Ibn-Mas'ūd certainly knew that it is in Ramaḍān and that it is the twenty-seventh night; however, he disliked to inform you of that, lest you rely upon it (4).'" Footnotes: (1) This was the nickname of Ubaī Ibn-Ka'b. (2) The night during which the Qur'ān was first revealed to prophet Muhammad. It occurs on one of the last ten nights of Ramadan, though God only knows which. The Qur'ān states that on this night, God determines the course of the world and all human affairs for the coming year. (3): To make sure of exactly which morning he had seen this sign. (4): And thus lose out on reward by limiting your performance of special voluntary acts of worship and supplications to that night alone. Click on ḥadīth to read more
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَن ِقَالَ حَدَّثَنِى أَبِى قَالَ ذُكِرَتْ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ عِنْدَ أَبِى بَكْرَةَ فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِمُلْتَمِسِهَا لِشَىْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ فِى الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ فَإِنِّى سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِى تِسْعٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ فِى سَبْعٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ فِى خَمْسٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ فِى ثَلاَثٍ أَوْ آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ. قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ يُصَلِّى فِى الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ كَصَلاَتِهِ فِى سَائِرِ السَّنَةِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ اجْتَهَدَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
The Glorious Night of Determination (1) was mentioned in the presence of Abū-Bakrah who said, "I only seek it in the last ten nights [of Ramaḍan] as I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, say, 'Seek it when there remains nine nights, when there remains seven nights, when there remains five nights, when there remains three nights or on the last night.'" Abū-Bakrah used to pray during the first twenty nights of Ramaḍān the same way he would during the rest of the year, but would strive [in his worship] in the last ten days. Footnotes: (1) The night during which the Qur'ān was first revealed to prophet Muhammad. It occurs on one of the last ten nights of Ramaḍān, although God only knows which night. The Qur'ān states that on this night, God determines the course of the world and all human affairs for the coming year. (2) Some interpretations state that it can be sought on the even numbered nights, as well. Click on ḥadīth to read more
