Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) spent in devotion (in i'tikaf) the middle ten nights of the month of Ramadan, and when twenty nights were over and it was the twenty-first night, he went back to his residence and those who were along with him also returned (to their respective residences). He spent one month in devotion. Then he addressed the people on the night he came back (to his residence) and commanded them as Allah desired (him to command) and then said: I used to devote myself (observe i'tikaf) during these ten (nights). Then I started devoting myself in the last ten (nights). And he who desires to observe i'tikaf along with me should spend the night) at his place of i'tikaf. And I saw this night (Lailat-ul-Qadr) but I forgot it (the exact night) ; so seek it;In the last ten nights on odd numbers. I saw (the glimpses of that dream) that I was prostrating in water and mud. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said: It rained on the twenty-first night and the water dripped (from the roof) of the mosque at the place where the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) observed prayer. I looked at him and as he completed the dawn prayer, (I found) his face was wet with mud and water.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُجَاوِرُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ الشَّهْرِ، فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنْ حِينِ تَمْضِي عِشْرُونَ لَيْلَةً، وَيَسْتَقْبِلُ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ، وَرَجَعَ مَنْ كَانَ يُجَاوِرُ مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَقَامَ فِي شَهْرٍ، جَاوَرَ فِيهِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَرْجِعُ فِيهَا، فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِمَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُجَاوِرُ هَذِهِ الْعَشْرَ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُجَاوِرَ هَذِهِ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ، فَمَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعِي فَلْيَبِتْ فِي مُعْتَكَفِهِ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، فِي كُلِّ وِتْرٍ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ» قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ: مُطِرْنَا لَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ، فَوَكَفَ الْمَسْجِدُ فِي مُصَلَّى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَدِ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ، وَوَجْهُهُ مُبْتَلٌّ طِينًا وَمَاءً
  ہمیں بکر نے ابن ہا د سے حدیث سنا ئی ، انھوں نے محمد بن ابرا ہیم سے ، انھوں نے ابو سلمہ بن عبد الرحماٰن سے انھوں نے حضرت ابو سعید خدری رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی ، کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ان دس دنوں میں اعتکاف کرتے تھے جو مہینے کے درمیان میں ہو تے ہیں جب وہ وقت آتا کہ بیس راتیں گزر جا تیں اور اکیسویں رات کی آمد ہو تی تو اپنے گھر لو ٹ جا تے اور وہ شخص بھی لو ٹ جا تا جو آپ کے ساتھ اعتکاف کرتا تھا ۔ پھر آپ ایک مہینے ، جس میں آپ نے اعتکاف کیا تھا اس رات ٹھہرے رہے جس میں آپ ( گھر ) لو ٹ جا یا کرتے تھے ۔ آپ نے لوگوں کو خطبہ دیا ، جو اللہ تعا لیٰ نے چا ہا اس کا حکم دیا ۔ پھر فر ما یا : "" میں ان ( درمیانے ) دس دنوں کا اعتکاف کرتا تھا ۔ پھر مجھ پر منکشف ہوا کہ میں اس آخری عشرے کا اعتکاف کروں ۔ تو جس شخص نے میرے ساتھ اعتکاف کیا ہے وہ اپنے اعتکاف کی جگہ ہی میں رات بسر کرے اور بلاشبہ میں نے یہ رات خواب میں دیکھی ہے اس کے بعد وہ مجھے بھلا دی گئی ۔ لہٰذا تم اسے آخری عشرے کی ہر طاق رات میں تلاش کرو ۔ میں اپنے آپ کو ( خواب میں ) دیکھا کہ میں پانی اور مٹی میں سجدہ کر رہا ہوں ۔ ابو سعید خدری رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے کہا : اکیسویں رات ہم پر بارش ہو ئی تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی نماز پڑھنے کی جگہ میں مسجد ( کی چھت ٹپک پڑی میں میں نے جب آپ صبح کی نماز سے فارغ ہو چکے تھے ۔ آپ کو دیکھا تو آپ کے چہرہ مبارک مٹی اور پانی سے بھیگا ہوا تھا ۔

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) observed i'tikaf (confined himself for devotion and prayer) in the first ten (days) of Ramadan; he then observed i'tikaf in the middle ten (days) in a Turkish tent with a mat hanging at its door. He (the Holy Prophet) took hold of that mat and placed it in the nook of the tent. He then put his head out and talked with people and they came near him, and he (the Holy Prophet) said: I observed i'tikaf in the first ten (nights and days) in order to seek that night (Lailat-ul-Qadr). I then observed i'tikaf in the middle ten days. Then (an angel) was sent to me and I was told that this (night) is among the last ten (nights). He who among you likes to observe i'tikaf should do so; and the people observed it along with him, and he (the Holy Prophet) said: That (Lailat-ul-Qadr) was shown to me on an odd (night) and I (saw in the dream) that I was prostrating in the morning in clay and water. So in the morning of the twenty-first night when he (the Holy Prophet) got up for dawn (prayer). there was a rainfall and the mosque dripped, and I saw clay and water. When he came out after completing the morning prayer (I saw) that his forehead and the tip of his nose had (traces) of clay and water, and that was the twenty-first night among the last ten (nights).

sahih-muslim-2772

Abu Salama reported: 'We discussed amongst ourselves Lailat-ul-Qadr. I came to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) who was a friend of mine and said to him: Would you not go with us to the garden of date trees? He went out with a cloak over him. I said to him: Did you hear the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) making mention of Lailat-ul-Qadr? He said: Yes, (and added) we were observing i'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) in the middle ten days of Ramadan, and came out on the morning of the twentieth and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) addressed us and said: I was shown Lailat-ul-Qadr, but I forgot (the exact night) or I was caused to forget it, so seek it in the last ten odd (nights), and I was shown that I was prostrating in water and clay. So he who wanted to observe i'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) should return (to the place of i'tikaf). He (Abu Sa'id al-Khudri) said: And we returned and did not find any patch of cloud in the sky. Then the cloud gathered and there was (so heavy) a downpour that the roof of the mosque which was made of the branches of date-palms began to drip. Then there was prayer and I saw the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) prostrating in water and clay till I saw the traces of clay on his forehead.

sahih-muslim-2774

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) observed i'tikaf in the middle ten days of Ramadan to seek Lailat-ul-Qadr before it was made manifest to him. When (these nights) were over, he commanded to strike the tent. Then it was made manifest to him that (Lailat-ul-Qadr) was in the last ten nights (of Ramadan), and commanded to pitch the tent (again). He then came to the people and said: O people, Lailat-ul-Qadr was made manifest to me and I came out to inform you about it that two persons came contending with each other and there was a devil along with them and I forgot it. So seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Seek it on the ninth, on the seventh and on the fifth. I (one of the narrators) said: Abu Sa'id, you know more than us about numbers. He said: Yes, indeed we have better right than you. I said: What is this ninth, seventh, and fifth? He said: When twenty-one (nights are over) and the twenty-second begins, it is the ninth, and when twenty-three (nights) are over, that which follows (the last night) is the seventh, and when twenty-five nights are over, what follows it is fifth. Ibn Khallad said: Instead of the word Yahliqan (contending), he said Yakhtasiman, (they are disputing).
