حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ
تَذَاكَرْنَا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، وَكَانَ صَدِيقًا لِي فَقُلْتُ: اخْرُجْ بِنَا إِلَى النَّخْلِ فَخَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ لَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمِ، اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَشْرَ الْوَسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَخَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ فَقَالَ: أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا، أَوْ قَالَ: فَنُسِّيتُهَا، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي الْوِتْرِ، فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ، فَمَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلْيَرْجِعْ. فَرَجَعْنَا وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً، فَجَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَمُطِرْنَا حَتَّى سَالَ سَقْفُ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ، وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْجُدُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الطِّينِ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ

✧ We memorized the night of Al-Qadr in a group of Quraysh. So, I went to Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, who was a friend of mine, and I said, "Come out with us to the palm grove." He went out with us wearing a garment he had, and I said, "Have you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioning the night of Al-Qadr?" He replied, "Yes. We performed I'tikaf (seclusion for worship) with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the middle ten days of Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon on the morning of the twentieth (night), and he said, 'I saw the night of Al-Qadr but then I forgot it, or he said, I missed it, so seek it in the last ten nights, in the odd-numbered nights. Indeed, I saw myself prostrating in mud and water. So, whoever performed I'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ should return.' So, we returned, and we did not see any clouds in the sky. Then a cloud came and it started raining until the roofs of the mosque started dripping. The rainwater was of the color of the germs of the palm tree, and the prayer was established. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrating in the water and mud until I saw the signs of mud on his forehead."
