وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَنْبَأَ بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ ( ح ) وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، ثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: قَالَ: ثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ وَعَاصِمُ ابْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ: أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ لِأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ: يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، إِنَّ أَخَاكَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَقُمِ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ، فَقَالَ: يَرْحَمُهُ اللهُ، لَقَدْ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يَتَّكِلُوا، وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، وَأَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: بِالْعَلَامَةِ أَوْ بِالْآيَةِ الَّتِي أَنْبَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا

I said to Ubayy b. Kaʿb: "O Abū al-Mundhir, your brother Ibn Masʿūd says: Whoever stands in prayer throughout the year will catch the Night of Qadr." He said: "May God have mercy on him. He only wanted that they should not rely on it. He certainly knew that it is in the month of Ramadan, that it is in the last ten nights, and that it is the night of the twenty-seventh." He said: We said: "O Abū al-Mundhir, by what do you know that?" He said: "By the sign, or the portent, that the Messenger of God ﷺ informed us of: that the sun rises on that day without any rays."
