أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ سَلْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَرْثَدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
جَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عِنْدَ الْجَمْرَةِ الْوُسْطَى فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى كَادَتْ رُكْبَتِي تَمَسُّ رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ أَنَا كُنْتُ أَسْأَلَ النَّاسِ عَنْهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ تَكُونُ فِي زَمَانِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْوَحْيُ فَإِذَا قُبِضُوا رُفِعَتْ؟ فَقَالَ «بَلْ هِيَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْنِي فِي أَيِّ الشَّهْرِ هِيَ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَوْ أَذِنَ لَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي إِحْدَى السُّبُعَيْنِ وَلَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْهَا بَعْدَ مَرَّتِكَ هَذِهِ» قَالَ وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَطْلَقَ بِهِ الْحَدِيثُ فَقُلْتُ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَتُخْبِرَنِّي فِي أَيِّ السُّبُعَيْنِ هِيَ؟ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ عَلَيَّ مِثْلَهُ وَقَالَ «لَا أُمَّ لَكَ هِيَ تَكُونُ فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ»

✧ I sat with Abu Dharr near the middle Jamrah and drew close to him until my knee almost touched his knees. I said: Tell me about Laylat al-Qadr. He said: I was the one who asked people about it, and I asked the Messenger of Allah. I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about Laylat al-Qadr. Is it during the time of the prophets, when revelation descends upon them, and when they are taken, it is lifted? He said: “Rather, it remains until the Day of Resurrection.” I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me in which month it is. He said: “If Allah willed, I would have informed you of it. Seek it in the last ten nights, in one of the two sets of seven, and do not ask me about it after this time.” He then turned to his companions and began speaking with them. When I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ become engrossed in conversation, I said: I adjure you by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, to tell me in which of the two sets of seven it is. He became angry with me in a way he had never been angry before and said: “May your mother be bereft of you! It occurs in the last seven.”

هكذا قال الأوزاعي عن مرثد بن أبي مرثد وهو خطأ وإنما هو مالك بن مرثد عن أبيه ولم يقم الأوزاعي إسناد هذا الحديث ولا ساقه سياقة أهل الحفظ له
machine translationThus al-Awzāʿī said, from Marthad b. Abī Marthad, and this is an error; rather it is Mālik b. Marthad, from his father. Al-Awzāʿī did not establish the isnād of this hadith correctly, nor did he relate it in the manner of those who have memorized it.
