اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَمُسَدَّدٌ ، الْمَعْنَى قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَنَا سُئِلَ عَنْهَا ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ يَقُمْ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْهَا ، فَقَالَ : رَحِمَ اللَّهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ ، زَادَ مُسَدَّدٌ : وَلَكِنْ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَتَّكِلُوا ، أَوْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ لَا يَتَّكِلُوا ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا ، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهَا لَفِي رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَا يَسْتَثْنِي ، قُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ ، أَنَّى عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : بِالْآيَةِ الَّتِي أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قُلْتُ لِزِرٍّ : مَا الْآيَةُ ؟ قَالَ : تُصْبِحُ الشَّمْسُ صَبِيحَةَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ مِثْلَ الطَّسْتِ لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ .
Zirr (b. Hubaish) said: I said to Ubayy bin Kab: Tell me about lailat al-qard, O Abu al-Mundhir, for our companion (Ibn Masud) was questioned about it, and he said: Anyone who gets up for prayer every night all the year round will hit upon it (i. e. lailat al-qadr). He replied: May Allah have mercy on Abu Abdur-Rahman. By Allah, he knew that it was in Ramadan, (Musaddad's version goes) bu he disliked that the people should content themselves (with that night alone) ; or he liked that the people should not content themselves (with the night alone). According to the agreed version: By Allah, it is the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan, without any reservation. I said: How did you know that, Abu al-Mundhir ? He replied: By the indication (or sign) of which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us. I asked Zirr: What is the sign ? He replied: The sun rises like a vessel of water in the morning following that night ; it has no ray until it rises high up.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1378. Commentary:
➊ Worship during Laylat al-Qadr is superior to the worship of a thousand months compared to other nights. [لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ]
[القدر۔3]
And this period amounts to eighty-three years and four months.
➋ If it is claimed with certainty that this night always occurs on the twenty-seventh of Ramadan, then this is absolutely incorrect. Rather, it is only a possibility. Similarly, it is possible for it to occur on other odd nights as well.
➌ Although the mentioned signs appear only after the night has passed, the benefit in this is that if a person has availed himself of this night, he should be grateful; and if he was deprived, he should aspire for it in the future.
➍ This sign must have appeared to Ubayy ibn Ka'b radi Allahu anhu on the morning of the twenty-seventh in a particular year, and from this he became convinced that Laylat al-Qadr is always on this night every year. However, the correct view is that Laylat al-Qadr continues to move among the odd nights of the last ten (nights of Ramadan).
