أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ حَفْصٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ فِي مَجْلِسٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَنْ يَسْأَلُ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَذَلِكَ صَبِيحَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ؟ فَخَرَجْتُ فَوَافَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ بِبَابِ بَيْتِهِ فَمَرَّ بِي فَقَالَ «ادْخُلْ» فَدَخَلْتُ فَأُتِيَ بِعَشَائِهِ فَرَأَيْتُنِي أَكُفُّ عَنْهُ مِنْ قِلَّتِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ نَاوِلْنِي نَعْلِي فَقَامَ وَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ قَالَ «كَأَنَّ لَكَ حَاجَةً؟» قُلْتُ أَجَلْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ «كَمِ اللَّيْلَةُ؟» قُلْتُ اثْنَتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ قَالَ «هِي اللَّيْلَةُ» ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ «أَوِ الْقَابِلَةُ» يُرِيدُ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ

✧ I was in a gathering of Banu Salimah, and I was the youngest of them. They said: “Who will ask the Messenger of Allah for us about Laylat al-Qadr?” That was on the morning of the twenty-first of Ramadan. I went out and met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the Maghrib prayer, then I stood at the door of his house. He passed by me and said: “Enter.” I entered, and his dinner was brought. I saw myself holding back from it because it was little. When he finished, he said: “Hand me my sandals.” He stood up and I stood up with him. He said: “It seems you have a need?” I said: “Yes. A group from Banu Salimah sent me to you to ask about Laylat al-Qadr.” He said: “What night is it?” I said: “The twenty-second.” He said: “It is tonight.” Then he turned back and said: “Or the next one,” meaning the night of the twenty-third. Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Musa b. Ya'qub contradicted him.
