حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ: نَا عُيَيْنَةُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ
قَالَ ذَكَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ فَقَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ مُلْتَمِسَهَا إِلَّا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ بَعْدَ حَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي تَاسِعَةٍ تَبْقَى أَوْ سَابِعَةٍ تَبْقَى أَوْ خَامِسَةٍ تَبْقَى أَوْ ثَالِثَةٍ تَبْقَى وَآخِرِ لَيْلَةً " قَالَ: فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ يُصَلِّي عِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَمَا صَلَّى فِي سَائِرِ السَّنَةِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ اجْتَهَدَ.

✧ He said: I mentioned the Night of Decree to Abu Bakrah, and he said: "As for me, I do not seek it except in the last ten, after a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'Seek it when nine remain, or seven remain, or five remain, or three remain, or the last night.'" He said: Abu Bakrah used to pray twenty [rak'ahs] during Ramadan, and did not pray [them] during the rest of the year, but when the last ten entered, he exerted himself.
