Hadith 4470

حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ , عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ ، عَنْ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ : " مَتَى هَاجَرْتَ ؟ قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مِنْ الْيَمَنِ مُهَاجِرِينَ فَقَدِمْنَا الْجُحْفَةَ ، فَأَقْبَلَ رَاكِبٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ الْخَبَرَ ، فَقَالَ : دَفَنَّا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْذُ خَمْسٍ ، قُلْتُ : هَلْ سَمِعْتَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَخْبَرَنِي بِلَالٌ مُؤَذِّنُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ فِي السَّبْعِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ " .
Narrated Ibn Abu Habib: Abu Al-Khair said, "As-Sanabih, I asked (me), 'When did you migrate?' I (i.e. Abu Al-Khair) said, 'We went out from Yemen as emigrants and arrived at Al-Juhfa, and there came a rider whom I asked about the news. The rider said: We buried the Prophet five days ago." I asked (As-Sanabihi), 'Did you hear anything about the night of Qadr?' He replied, 'Bilal, the Mu'adh-dhin of the Prophet informed me that it is on one of the seven nights of the last ten days (of Ramadan).

Hadith Commentary:

Since the aforementioned incident also took place immediately after the passing of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has narrated it here.


Abu al-Khayr’s name is Mirthad bin Abdullah, and Sanabihi’s name is Abdur Rahman bin Usaylah. In Sahih al-Bukhari, only this one hadith is narrated from them. Our remarks regarding Laylat al-Qadr have already been mentioned in the Book of Fasting (Kitab al-Siyam).
