Bayhaqi 8532 — Encouragement to seek it in the even nights of the last

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، أنبأ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ يَعْنِي الْجُرَيْرِيَّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوْسَطَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ يَلْتَمِسُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُبَانَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا انْقَضَيْنَ أَمَرَ بِالْبِنَاءِ فَنُقِضَ وَرُفِعَ ثُمَّ أُبِينَتْ لَهُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَأَمَرَ بِالْبِنَاءِ فَأُعِيدَ مَكَانَهُ وَاعْتَكَفَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ وَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي أُنْبِئْتُ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَخَرَجْتُ كَيْمَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهَا أَوْ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِهَا فَتَلَاحَى رَجُلَانِ يَحْتَقَّانِ مَعَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَالسَّابِعَةِ ⦗٥٠٨⦘ وَالْخَامِسَةِ ".
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) observed i'tikaf in the middle ten (days) of Ramadan, seeking Laylat al-Qadr before it was made clear to him. When the ten were over, he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the tent to be dismantled, and it was taken down. Then it was made clear to him that it is in the last ten, so he ordered the tent and it was set up again in its place, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) observed i'tikaf in the last ten. He (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us and said: "O people, I was informed of Laylat al-Qadr, and I came out to tell you about it, but two men were quarrelling, disputing their rights, and Satan was with them, so I was made to forget it. So seek it on the ninth, the seventh and the fifth (nights)."
