حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ وَخَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْبَزَّارُ وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ: أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَنَا - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ - كَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْهَا، قَالَ: مَنْ يَقُمِ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْهَا. فَقَالَ: يَرْحَمُ اللهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَمَا وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ، وَلَكِنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ لَا يَتَّكِلُوا، وَإِنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ - لَمْ يَسْتَثْنِ -. قُلْتُ: أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، أَنَّى عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: بِالْآيَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: صُبْحَةَ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا، كَأَنَّهَا طَسْتٌ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ

✧ I said to Ubayy b. Kaʿb: O Abū al-Mundhir, tell me about the Night of Decree, for our companion—meaning Ibn Masʿūd—when asked about it would say, “Whoever stands in prayer the whole year will attain it.” He said: May God have mercy on Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. By God, he knew that it is in Ramadan, but he loved that they should not rely on it. And it is the night of the twenty-seventh—without exception. I said: O Abū al-Mundhir, how did you know that? He said: By the sign that the Messenger of God ﷺ told us: On the morning of the Night of Decree, the sun rises without rays, like a basin, until it rises high.
