Bayhaqi 8548 — Encouragement to seek it in the last seven nights

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ⦗٥١٢⦘ الْفَحَّامُ، ثنا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ شَاذَانُ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ " مَنْ كَانَ مُتَحَرِّيًا فَلْيَتَحَرَّهَا لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ " قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَذَكَرَ لِي رَجُلٌ ثِقَةٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا قَالَ " مَنْ كَانَ مُتَحَرِّيًا فَلْيَتَحَرَّهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الْبَوَاقِي " فَلَا أَدْرِي ذَا أَمْ ذَا، شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ الصَّحِيحُ رِوَايَةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ دُونَ رِوَايَةِ شُعْبَةَ.
Abdullah bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrating from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about Laylat al-Qadr: "Whoever would seek it, let him seek it on the twenty-seventh night."
Shu'bah said: A trustworthy man told me from Sufyan that he used to say that he only said: "Whoever would seek it, let him seek it in the remaining seven." So I do not know whether it was this or that; Shu'bah was in doubt.
The correct version is the narration of the majority, not the narration of Shu'bah.
