عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((كَمْ مَضَى مِنَ الشَّهْرِ؟))، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: مَضَتْ ثِنْتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ وَبَقِيَ ثَمَانٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا، بَلْ مَضَتْ مِنْهُ ثِنْتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ وَبَقِيَ سَبْعٌ، اطْلُبُوهَا اللَّيْلَةَ))، قَالَ: يَعْلَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ: الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: How many days of this month have passed? We said: Twenty-two days have passed and eight remain. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, no, rather twenty-two have passed and seven remain. Seek the Night of Qadr in this night; the month is of twenty-nine days.
