It is also narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us about the Night of Qadr: This night occurs in the month of Ramadan, so seek it in the last ten nights, and among these, in the odd nights, that is, the twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh, or the last night of Ramadan. Whoever stands (in prayer) during this night seeking reward, his past and future sins will be forgiven.
