Hadith 3351

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ، وَعَاصِمٍ هُوَ ابْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ، سَمِعَا زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ وَزِرُّ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ يُكْنَى أَبَا مَرْيَمَ ، يَقُولُ : قُلْتُ لِأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ : إِنَّ أَخَاكَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ يَقُمِ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ، فَقَالَ : يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي الْعَشَرَةَ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، وَأَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يَتَّكِلَ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ حَلَفَ لَا يَسْتَثْنِي أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُ : بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ ، قَالَ : بِالْآيَةِ الَّتِي أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَوْ بِالْعَلَامَةِ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ أَبُو وَائِلٍ شَقِيقُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ لا يَتَكَلَّمُ مَا دَامَ زِرُّ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ جَالِسًا ، قَالَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ : وَكَانَ زِرُّ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ رَجُلا فَصِيحًا ، وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْعَرِبِيَّةِ . حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مهْرَانَ الْكُوفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بهدلة ، قَالَ : مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى زِرِّ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ وَهُوَ يُؤَذِّنُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا مَرْيَمَ أَتُؤَذِّنُ ؟ إِنِّي لأَرْغَبُ بِكً عَنِ الأَذَانِ ، فَقَالَ زِرُّ : أَتَرْغَبُ عَنِ الأَذَانِ ، وَاللهِ لا أُكَلِّمُكَ أَبَدًا .
´Zirr bin Hubaish [and Zirr bin Hubaish’s Kunyah is Abu Mariam] said:` “I said to Ubayy bin Ka’b: ‘Your brother Abdullah bin Mas’ud says: “Whoever stands (in voluntary prayer) the whole year, then he will have reached the Night of Al-Qadr.’” So he said: ‘May Allah forgive Abu Abdur-Rahman. He knows that is during the last ten (nights) of Ramadan, and that it is the night of the twenty-seventh. But he wanted the people to not rely upon that.’ Then he uttered an oath, that without exception it is on the night of the twenty-seventh.” He said: “I said to him: ‘Why is it that you say that O Abu Al-Mindhir?’ He said: “By the sign or indication which the Messenger of Allah informed us of: ‘That the sun rises on that day having no beams with it.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
Based on several years of experience, after having found these mentioned signs applicable to the night of the 27th, only then did Ubayy ibn Ka'b radi Allahu anhu make this claim, and its chain of narration is also authentic.
Therefore, his claim is based on truth.
However, according to the Sunnah, performing i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) for ten days is a separate Sunnah,
and is a separate means of reward,
and likewise, those who spend the odd nights in night vigil will certainly attain Laylat al-Qadr,
and there will be additional reward as well.
As for the statement about seeking Laylat al-Qadr throughout the entire year:
this could be the personal ijtihad (independent reasoning) of Ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu.
In any case, the attainment of Laylat al-Qadr and its reward is already determined.
