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).
وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ غَزِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَّلَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوْسَطَ، فِي قُبَّةٍ تُرْكِيَّةٍ عَلَى سُدَّتِهَا حَصِيرٌ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ الْحَصِيرَ بِيَدِهِ فَنَحَّاهَا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقُبَّةِ، ثُمَّ أَطْلَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَكَلَّمَ النَّاسَ، فَدَنَوْا مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي اعْتَكَفْتُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَّلَ، أَلْتَمِسُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ، ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفْتُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوْسَطَ، ثُمَّ أُتِيتُ، فَقِيلَ لِي: إِنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ فَلْيَعْتَكِفْ فَاعْتَكَفَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، قَالَ: «وَإِنِّي أُرِيتُهَا لَيْلَةَ وِتْرٍ، وَإِنِّي أَسْجُدُ صَبِيحَتَهَا فِي طِينٍ وَمَاءٍ» فَأَصْبَحَ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ، وَقَدْ قَامَ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ، فَمَطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ، فَوَكَفَ الْمَسْجِدُ، فَأَبْصَرْتُ الطِّينَ وَالْمَاءَ، فَخَرَجَ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ، وَجَبِينُهُ وَرَوْثَةُ أَنْفِهِ فِيهِمَا الطِّينُ وَالْمَاءُ، وَإِذَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ
  ہم سے عمارہ بن غزیہ انصاری نے حدیث بیان کی ، کہا : میں نے محمد بن ابرا ہیم سے سنا وہ ابو سلمہ سے حدیث بیان کر رہے تھے ، انھوں نے حضرت ابو سعید خدری رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی ، کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ایک ترکی خیمے کے اندر جس کے دروازے پر چٹائی تھی ، رمضا ن کے پہلے عشرے میں اعتکا ف کیا ، پھر درمیانے عشرے میں اعتکاف کیا ۔ کہا : تو آپ نے چتا ئی کو اپنے ہاتھ سے پکڑ کر خیمے کے ایک کونے میں کیا ، پھر اپنا سر مبا رک خیمے سے باہر نکا ل کر لو گوں سے گفتگو فر ما ئی ، لوگ آپ کے قریب ہو گئے تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فر مایا : "" میں نے اس شب ( قدر ) کوتلاش کرنے کے لیے پہلے عشرے کا اعتکاف کیا ، پھر میں نے درمیانے عشرے کا اتکاف کیا ، پھر میرے پاس ( بخاری حدیث : 813میں ہے : جبریل ؑ کی آمد ہو ئی تو مجھ سے کہا گیا : وہ آخری دس راتوں میں ہے تو اب تم میں سے جو اعتکاف کرنا چا ہے وہ اعتکاف کر لے ، "" لوگوں نے آپ کے ساتھ اعتکاف کیا ۔ آپ نے فر مایا : "" اور مجھے وہ ایک طاق رات دکھا ئی گئی اور یہ کہ میں اس ( رات ) کی صبح مٹی اور پانی میں سجدہ کر رہا ہوں ۔ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اکیسویں رات کی صبح کی ، اور آپ نے ( اس میں ) صبح تک قیام کیا تھا پھر بارش ہو ئی تو مسجد ( کی چھت ) ٹپک پڑی ، میں نے مٹی اور پانی دیکھا اس کے بعد جب آپ صبح کی نماز سے فارغ ہو کر باہر نکلے تو آپ کی پیشانی اور ناک کے کنارے دونوں میں مٹی اور پانی ( کے نشانات ) موجود تھے اور یہ آخری عشرے میں اکیسویں کی رات تھی ۔

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.

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).

Zirr b. Habaish reported: I thu asked Ubayy b. Ka'b (Allah be pleased with him): Your brother (in faith) Ibn Mas'ud says: He who stands (for the night prayer) throughout the year would find Lailat-ul-Qadr, whereupon he said: May Allah have mercy upon him; (he said these words) with the intention that people might not rely only (on one night), whereas he knew that it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) is in the month of Ramadan and it is the twenty-seventh night. He then took oath (without making any exception, i. e. without saying In sha Allah) that it was the twenty-seventh night. I said to him: Abu Mundhir, on what ground do you say that? Thereupon he said: By the indication or by the sign which the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) gave us, and that is that on that day (the sun) would rise without having any ray in it.
