أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَعَمْرَو بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ أَخْبَرَاهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أُنَيْسٍ أَخْبَرَهُمَا
أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا قَالُوا اذْهَبْ فَسَلْهُ لَنَا مَتَى لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى وَافَيْتُ غُرُوبَ الشَّمْسِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَبْيَاتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى وَفَرَغَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِفِطْرِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعَا بِنَعْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ أَنَّ لَكَ حَاجَةً» قُلْتُ أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَتَى لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ؟ فَقَالَ «اللَّيْلَةُ» وَتِلْكَ لَيْلَةُ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقُلْتُ اللَّيْلَةُ لَيْلَةُ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ؟ قَالَ بَلِ الْقَابِلَةُ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ الْقَوِيِّ

✧ A group of the Ansar said: “Who is a man to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” Abdullah said: “I said: ‘I am.’ They said: ‘Go and ask him for us when Laylat al-Qadr is.’ I went out until I arrived at sunset near some of the houses of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then the Prophet ﷺ came out and prayed Maghrib. When he had prayed and finished, I went out with him until he entered his house and I was with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for his iftar. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished, he called for his sandals, then said: ‘I think you have a need.’ I said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah. So-and-so and so-and-so sent me to you asking when Laylat al-Qadr is.’ He said: ‘Tonight.’ That was the night of the twenty-second of Ramadan. I said: ‘Tonight is the night of the twenty-second of Ramadan?’ He said: ‘Rather, the next one, the night of the twenty-third.’ Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Musa b. Ya'qub is not that strong.”
