(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
هَمَّامٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى
أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَلَا تَخْرُجُ بِنَا إِلَى النَّخْلِ نَتَحَدَّثُ ؟ قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : حَدِّثْنِي مَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ؟ قَالَ : اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَشْرَ الْأُوَلَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، فَاعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَهُ ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُ أَمَامَكَ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ صَبِيحَةُ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطِيبًا ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلْيَرْجِعْ ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ، وَإِنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فِي وَتْرٍ ، وَإِنِّي أُنْسِيتُهَا ، وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي أَسْجُدُ فِي طِينٍ وَمَاءٍ " . قَالَ : وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَالَ هَمَّامٌ : أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ : قَزَعَةً ، سَمَّى الْغَيْمَ بِاسْمٍ فَجَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ ، وَكَانَ سَقْفُ الْمَسْجِدِ جَرِيدَ النَّخْلِ ، فَأُمْطِرْنَا ، فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الطِّينِ وَالْمَاءِ عَلَى جَبْهَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَرْنَبَتِهِ ، تَصْدِيقًا لِرُؤْيَاهُ .
Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I went to Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and requested that we go to the garden and talk there. He set out, and I requested him to tell me whatever he had heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding Laylat al-Qadr. He said: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed i'tikaf during the first ten days of Ramadan; we also performed i'tikaf with him. Jibreel came to him and said: "That which you are seeking is ahead." (So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, performed i'tikaf during the middle ten days, and the same thing happened.) When the morning of the twentieth day came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "Whoever was in i'tikaf should remain in his i'tikaf. I saw Laylat al-Qadr, but then its exact date was made to be forgotten by me. However, during that night, I saw myself prostrating in mud. At that time, there were no clouds in the sky, but suddenly clouds appeared. In those days, the roof of the Prophet's Mosque was made of wood. That very night, it rained, and I saw that there were marks of mud on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) nose and forehead. This was the confirmation of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) dream."
