Musnad Abi Ya'la 1158 — Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him)
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ : تَذَاكَرْنَا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ، فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَكَانَ لِي صَدِيقًا ، فَقُلْتُ : أَلَا تَخْرُجُ إِلَى النَّخْلِ ؟ فَخَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَذْكُرُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمِ . اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْعَشْرَ الْوُسْطَى مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، فَخَرَجْنَا صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ ، فَخَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : « إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ، وَإِنِّي نُسِّيتُهَا - أَوْ : أُنْسِيتُهَا - فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ كُلِّ وِتْرٍ ، وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ ، فَمَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلْيَرْجِعْ » . فَرَجَعْنَا وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً ، فَجَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَمُطِرْنَا حَتَّى سَالَ الْمَسْجِدُ ، وَكَانَ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ ، فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَسْجُدُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الطِّينِ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ .
Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: We were discussing Laylat al-Qadr among a group of people from Quraysh, so I went to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a friend of mine, and said to him: "Will you not come out (for a while) with us to the palm grove?" So he came out wearing a black embroidered cloak. I asked him: "Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mention Laylat al-Qadr?" He said: "Yes. We observed i'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the middle ten days of Ramadan, then we came out (of the mosque) on the morning of the twentieth, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us and said: 'I was shown Laylat al-Qadr, but I was made to forget it (or: I forgot it), so seek it in the odd nights of the last ten (of Ramadan). And I saw (in a dream) that I was prostrating in water and mud, so whoever observed i'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) should return (to the mosque).' So we returned, and at that time not even a patch of cloud could be seen in the sky. Then suddenly a cloud came and it rained so much that water flowed in the mosque, and the mosque (its roof) was made of palm branches. Then the prayer was begun, and I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrating in water and mud, until I saw the traces of mud on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed forehead."
