Hadith 4374

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الَّذِي كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي بَنِي دَالَانَ يَزِيدُ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، عَنْ طَلْقِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَقْرَبٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ عَلَى إِنْجَارٍ لَهُ يَعْنِي سَطْحًا ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : صدق الله ورسوله ، صدق الله ورسوله ، فصعدت إليه ، فقلت : يا أبا عبد الرحمن ، مالك قُلْتَ : صدق الله ورسوله ، صدق الله ورسوله ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَبَّأَنَا أَنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنَ السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ ، وَإِنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ صَبِيحَتَهَا لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ " ، قَالَ : فَصَعِدْتُ ، فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا ، فَقُلْتُ : صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ .
Abu Aqrab says that once, during the month of Ramadan in the morning, I went to visit Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). I found him sitting on the roof of his house. I heard his voice saying: "Allah has spoken the truth and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has conveyed (the message)." I went to him and asked, "I heard you saying that Allah has spoken the truth and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has conveyed (the message). What does this mean?" He replied that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Laylat al-Qadr is in the middle of the last seven nights of Ramadan, and after this night, when the morning comes and the sun rises, it is completely clear, and it has no rays." I was just observing this, and I found it exactly as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said, so I said that Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.
