Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9766 — The last ten days of Ramadan

Abu Marthad said: I was with Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) at the middle Jamrah. I asked him about Laylat al-Qadr, and he said: I was the one who asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about Laylat al-Qadr more than anyone. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about it." He said: "If I had been permitted to tell about it, I would certainly have told you. But seek it in one of the two sevens. Then do not ask me about it after this standing of yours or of mine."
