وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ كِلَاهُمَا ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ، قَالَ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ ، وَعَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ ، سمعا زر بن حبيش ، يَقُولُ : سَأَلْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ أَخَاكَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، يَقُولُ : مَنْ يَقُمْ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ، فَقَالَ : " رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يَتَّكِلَ النَّاسُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ ، وَأَنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ ، وَأَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ، ثُمَّ حَلَفَ لَا يَسْتَثْنِي أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ " ، فَقُلْتُ : بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ ؟ ، قَالَ : " بِالْعَلَامَةِ أَوْ بِالْآيَةِ الَّتِي أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا " .
Zirr bin Habaish reported: I asked Ubayy bin Ka'b (RA) : Your brother (in faith) Ibn Mas'ud says: He who stands (for the night prayer) throughout the year would find Lailat-ul-Qadr, whereupon he said: May Allah have mercy upon him; (he said these words) with the intention that people might not rely only (on one night), whereas he knew that it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) is in the month of Ramadan and it is the twenty-seventh night. He then took oath (without making any exception, i. e. without saying Innsha Allah) that it was the twenty-seventh night. I said to him: Abu Mundhir, on what ground do you say that? Thereupon he said: By the indication or by the sign which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave us, and that is that on that day (the sun) would rise without having any ray in it.
