Hadith 85
اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبِي : فَحَدَّثَتُ بِهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنهُ ، قَالَ : وَمَا أَعْجَبَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ كَانَ عُمَرُ إِذَا دَعَا الْأَشْيَاخَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعَانِي مَعَهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَتَكَلَّمْ حَتَّى يَتَكَلَّمُوا ، قَالَ : فَدَعَانَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، أَوْ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ ، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ وِتْرًا ، فَفِي أَيِّ الْوِتْرِ تَرَوْنَهَا ؟ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would call the senior Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), he would also call me along with them and would say to me: "Do not speak until these gentlemen have spoken." In the same way, one day Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called us and said: "Whatever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has said regarding Laylat al-Qadr is also known to you, that you should seek Laylat al-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan. Tell me, in which odd night of the last ten do you think Laylat al-Qadr is?" (It is obvious that every Companion's answer was different; Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) liked my opinion.)
