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.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The narrator of the first hadiths of this chapter, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unais radi Allahu anhu, used to consider the twenty-third night of Ramadan as Laylat al-Qadr, as is evident from the narration in Sahih Muslim. In any case, it is established from this chapter that during the blessed era of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the twenty-third night of Ramadan was also a night of Qadr.
