Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 10572 — Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab called

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، أنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَعَاصِمٍ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا عِكْرِمَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: دَعَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، فَأَجْمَعُوا أَنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَقُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ: إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ أَيُّ لَيْلَةٍ هِيَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَأَيُّ لَيْلَةٍ هِيَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: سَابِعَةٌ تَمْضِي، أَوْ سَابِعَةٌ تَبْقَى مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَمِنْ أَيْنَ عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قُلْتُ: خَلَقَ اللهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَسَبْعَ أَرَضِينَ وَسَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَإِنَّ الشَّهْرَ يَدُورُ فِي سَبْعٍ، وَخَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سَبْعٍ، وَيَأْكُلُ مِنْ سَبْعٍ، وَيَسْجُدُ عَلَى سَبْعٍ، وَالطَّوَافُ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعٌ، وَرَمْيُ الْجِمَارِ سَبْعٌ "، لِأَشْيَاءَ ذَكَرَهَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَقَدْ فَطِنْتَ لِأَمْرٍ مَا فطِنَّا لَهُ. وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَزِيدُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَيَأْكُلُ مِنْ سَبْعٍ، قَالَ: هُوَ قَوْلُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {فَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا} [عبس: ٢٨] الْآيَةَ
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) called the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked them about Laylat al-Qadr, and they all agreed that it is in the last ten nights. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): I know - rather, I think - which night it is. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Which night is it? I said: The seventh night that has passed, or the seventh night that remains, of the last ten. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: How did you come to know this? Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I said: Allah created seven heavens, seven earths and seven days; the month revolves in sevens; He created man from seven (things); he eats from seven things; he prostrates on seven limbs; the circumambulation of the House is seven rounds; and the stoning of the Jamarat is with seven pebbles - and he mentioned several such things. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have understood something that we could not understand. Qatadah used to add, regarding the saying of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) "he eats from seven things": What is meant by it is this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "Then We caused to grow in it grain, grapes and fresh vegetation" [Surah Abasa: 27-28] - the verse.
