Hadith 1379
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السُّلَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ فِي مَجْلِسِ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ ، وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : مَنْ يَسْأَلُ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ، وَذَلِكَ صَبِيحَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، فَخَرَجْتُ ، فَوَافَيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ بِبَابِ بَيْتِهِ ، فَمَرَّ بِي ، فَقَالَ : " ادْخُلْ " ، فَدَخَلْتُ فَأُتِيَ بِعَشَائِهِ فَرَآنِي أَكُفُّ عَنْهُ مِنْ قِلَّتِهِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ، قَالَ : " نَاوِلْنِي نَعْلِي " ، فَقَامَ وَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " كَأَنَّ لَكَ حَاجَةً " قُلْتُ : أَجَلْ ، أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ، فَقَالَ : " كَمْ اللَّيْلَةُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : اثْنَتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ ، قَالَ : " هِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ " ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَوِ الْقَابِلَةُ ، يُرِيدُ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Unays: I was present at the gathering of Banu Salamah, and I was the youngest of them. They (the people) said: Who will ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for us about Laylat al-Qadr? That was the twenty-first of Ramadan. I went out and said the sunset prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I then stood at the door of his house. He passed by me and said: Come in. I entered (the house) and dinner was brought for him. I was prevented from taking food as it was scanty. When he finished his dinner, he said to me: Give me my shoes. He then stood up and I also stood up with him. He said: Perhaps you have some business with me. I said: Yes. Some people of Banu Salamah have sent me to you to ask you about Laylat al-Qadr. He asked: Which night: Is it tonight? I said: Twenty-second. He said: This is the very night. He then withdrew and said: Or the following night, referring to the twenty-third night.
