Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 442 — he said: When the last ten days of Ramadan

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خُلَيْدٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ : نَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ .
يَرُدُّهُ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، اعْتَكَفَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ : إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ اللَّيْلَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيَقُمْ ، فَهِيَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ I " ، فَصَلَّى لَنَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَمَاعَةً بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ ، حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا ، وَلَمْ يَقُمْ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ، قَامَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ، فَقَالَ : I " إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ اللَّيْلَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ I " - يَعْنِي : لَيْلَةَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ - فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَقُمْ I " .
فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى ذَهَبَ نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ ، قَامَ ، فَقَالَ : I " إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ I " - يَعْنِي : لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ - I " فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيَقُمْ I " . قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ : فَتَجَلَّدْنَا لِلْقِيَامِ ، فَقَامَ بِنَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثَا اللَّيْلِ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى قُبَّةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : إِنْ كُنَّا لَقَدْ طَمِعْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَقُومُ بِنَا حَتَّى نُصْبِحَ قَالَ : I " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، إِنَّكَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ مَعَ إِمَامِكَ ، وَانْصَرَفْتَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ ، كُتِبَ لَكَ قُنُوتُ لَيْلَتِكَ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ إِلَّا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When the last ten days of Ramadan came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) observed i'tikaf in the mosque. Then, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had prayed the Asr prayer on the twenty-second day, he said: "We will stand (in prayer) tonight, if Allah wills; so whoever wishes to stand, let him stand, for it is the twenty-third night." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in congregational prayer after Isha until a third of the night had passed; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) left. When the twenty-fourth night came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said nothing and did not stand (in prayer). Then, when the turn of the twenty-fifth night came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up after the Asr prayer on the twenty-fourth day and said: "We will stand (in prayer) tonight, if Allah wills" (meaning the twenty-fifth night), "so whoever wishes, let him stand."
So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer until half the night had passed. Then, when the twenty-sixth night came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said: "We will stand (in prayer), if Allah wills" (meaning the twenty-seventh night), "so whoever wishes to stand, let him stand." Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We prepared ourselves for the standing with full resolve, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer until two thirds of the night had passed; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to a small tent in the mosque. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we had a strong wish that you would have led us in prayer until morning. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr, when you pray with your imam and finish when he finishes, the reward of worship for your whole night is written for you."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Shurayh bin Ubayd (may Allah have mercy on him) except Safwan bin Amr (may Allah have mercy on him)."
