عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أُتِيتُ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ، فَقِيلَ لِي: إِنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ، قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ وَأَنَا نَاعِسٌ فَتَعَلَّقْتُ بِبَعْضِ أَطْنَابِ فُسْطَاطِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي، قَالَ: فَنَظَرْتُ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ فَإِذَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was sleeping in the month of Ramadan when it was said to me in a dream that tonight is Laylat al-Qadr. I woke up drowsily and held onto the ropes of the tent of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When I came to him, he was performing prayer. It was the twenty-third night.
