Sixth Section: What Has Been Reported That It Is the Twenty-Third Night
Hadith 4034
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُمْ وَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ لَيْلَةٍ يَتَرَاءَوْنَهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ، قَالَ: ((لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ))
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unais (may Allah be pleased with him): When people asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the Night of Qadr in Ramadan, so that they could seek it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is the twenty-third night.
Hadith 4035
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((رَأَيْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا وَأَرَانِي صَبِيحَتَهَا أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ))، فَمُطِرْنَا لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَانْصَرَفَ وَإِنَّ أَثَرَ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَأَنْفِهِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unais (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did see the Night of Qadr, but then it was made to be forgotten by me. Now I see myself prostrating in water and mud on the morning of that night. So, on the twenty-third night, it rained and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the (morning) prayer. When he finished the prayer, there was a mark of mud on his forehead and nose.
Hadith 4036
وَعَنْهُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَلَسْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي آخِرِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ (يَعْنِي رَمَضَانَ) فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَتَى نَلْتَمِسُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ الْمُبَارَكَةَ؟ قَالَ: ((الْتَمِسُوهَا هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ))، وَقَالَ: وَذَلِكَ مَسَاءَ لَيْلَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَهِيَ إِذًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَوَّلُ ثَمَانٍ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِأَوَّلِ ثَمَانٍ وَلَكِنَّهَا أَوَّلُ السَّبْعِ، إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ لَا يَتِمُّ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Anis (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the last days of Ramadan. We said to him: O Messenger of Allah! When should we seek this blessed night? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Seek it on this very night. This conversation took place on the evening of the twenty-third night. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! Does this mean that among the remaining eight nights, the first night is Laylat al-Qadr? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not the first among the remaining eight, but the first among the remaining seven. This month will not be a complete thirty days.
Hadith 4037
عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ صَبِيحَةَ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ فِلْقُ جَفْنَةٍ، وَقَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ: إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ الْقَمَرُ كَذَاكَ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ
A companion narrates: He says, I looked at the moon on the morning of Laylat al-Qadr, and it appeared to me like half a platter. Abu Ishaq said: On the morning of the twenty-third night, the moon appears like this.
Hadith 4038
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((خَرَجْتُ حِينَ بَزَغَ الْقَمَرُ، كَأَنَّهُ فِلْقُ جَفْنَةٍ))، فَقَالَ: ((اللَّيْلَةَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I went out at a time when the moon was rising, and it looked like half a tray. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Tonight is the Night of Qadr.
Hadith 4039
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.
Hadith 4040
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.
