Hadith 2185
حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ فُلانِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ ، قَالَ : جَلَسْنَا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ فِي مَجْلِسِ جُهَيْنَةَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا أَبَا يَحْيَى هَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، جَلَسْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي آخِرِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : مَتَى نَلْتَمِسُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ الْمُبَارَكَةَ ؟ قَالَ : " الْتَمِسُوهَا هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ ، ثَلاثًا وَعِشْرِينَ " . فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : تِلْكَ إِذًا أُولَى ثَمَانٍ . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ
Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Khubaib narrates that during this month (the blessed month of Ramadan), we were sitting in the gathering of the Juhaina tribe with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Anis (may Allah be pleased with him). We asked, "O Abu Yahya, have you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) about this blessed night?" He replied, "Yes. We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in the last part of this month when a man asked him, 'When should we seek this blessed night?' He said: 'Seek it on the twenty-third night.' Then one of the people said, 'Then this night is the first of the eight nights.' Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the narrator whose name Ibn Ulayya did not mention is Abdullah bin Khubaib."
