أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَعَاصِمٍ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا عِكْرِمَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ:
دَعَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ؟ فَأَجْمَعُوا أَنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَقُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ، أَوْ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ أَيَّ لَيْلَةٍ هِيَ ؟ " قَالَ عُمَرُ: وَأَيُّ لَيْلَةٍ هِيَ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: " سَابِعَةٌ تَمْضِي، أَوْ سَابِعَةٌ تَبْقَى مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَمِنْ أَيْنَ عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ: " خَلَقَ اللهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ، وَسَبْعَ أَرَضِينَ، وَسَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَإِنَّ الدَّهْرَ يَدُورُ فِي سَبْعٍ، وَخَلَقَ اللهُ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سَبْعٍ، وَيَأْكُلُ مِنْ سَبْعٍ، وَيَسْجُدُ عَلَى سَبْعٍ، وَالطَّوَافُ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعٌ، وَرَمْيُ الْجِمَارِ سَبْعٌ، -لِأَشْيَاءَ ذَكَرَهَا- "، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَقَدْ فَطِنْتَ لِأَمْرٍ مَا فَطِنَّا لَهُ
Translation
✧ 'Umar b. al-Khattab summoned the companions of Muhammad ﷺ and asked them about the Night of Decree, and they agreed that it is in the last ten. Ibn 'Abbas said: I said to 'Umar: "I know, or I think I know, which night it is." 'Umar said: "Which night is it?" I said: "The seventh that passes, or the seventh that remains, of the last ten." 'Umar said: "How did you know that?" He said: "Allah created seven heavens, seven earths, and seven days, and time revolves in seven; Allah created man from seven, he eats from seven, he prostrates on seven, the circumambulation of the House is seven, and the stoning of the jamarat is seven – for things he mentioned –." 'Umar said: "You have perceived something we did not perceive."
