وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، ثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُمَيْلٍ سِمَاكٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ، ثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ ؓ:
هَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، أَفِي رَمَضَانَ أَمْ فِي غَيْرِ رَمَضَانَ ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ: بَلْ فِي رَمَضَانَ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَهِيَ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مَا كَانُوا، فَإِذَا قُبِضَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ رُفِعَتْ، أَمْ هِيَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَا بَلْ هِيَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي فِي أَيِّ رَمَضَانَ هِيَ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، لَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ بِحَقِّي، فِي أَيِّ الْعَشْرِ هِيَ ؟، فَغَضِبَ ﷺ عَلَيَّ غَضَبًا مَا غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَقَالَ ﷺ: لَوْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَأَطْلَعَكَ عَلَيْهَا، الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، لَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا

✧ Did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention the Night of Decree? He said: Yes. I said: O Messenger of Allah, inform me about the Night of Decree: is it in Ramadan or in other than Ramadan? He ﷺ said: Rather, it is in Ramadan. I said: O Messenger of Allah, is it with the prophets as long as they remain, and when the prophets are taken, it is lifted, or is it until the Day of Resurrection? He ﷺ said: No, rather it is until the Day of Resurrection. I said: O Messenger of Allah, inform me in which Ramadan it is. He ﷺ said: In the last ten; do not ask me about anything after this. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I adjure you by my right: in which ten is it? He ﷺ became angry with me, angry as he had never been angry with me before or after. He ﷺ said: If Allah willed, He would have shown it to you. Seek it in the last seven; do not ask me about anything after this.
