أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ
اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوْسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ يَلْتَمِسُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُبَانَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا انْقَضَيْنَ أَمَرَ بِالْبِنَاءِ فَنُقِضَ ثُمَّ «أُبِينَتْ أَنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ» فَأَمَرَ بِالْبِنَاءِ فَأُعِيدَ وَاعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ فَخَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي أُنْبِئْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَخَرَجْتُ لِأُخْبِرَكُمْ بِهَا فَجَاءَ رَجُلَانِ مَعَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ فَنَسِيتُهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَفِي السَّابِعَةِ وَفِي الْخَامِسَةِ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed iʿtikāf during the middle ten of Ramadan while seeking Laylat al-Qadr before it was made clear to him. When those ten ended, he ordered the tent to be dismantled, and it was taken down. Then it was made clear to him that it was in the last ten, so he ordered the tent to be rebuilt and it was restored, and he observed iʿtikāf during the last ten. Then he came out to the people and said: "I was informed of Laylat al-Qadr and I came out to tell you about it, but two men came with the devil, and I forgot it. So seek it in the ninth, the seventh, and the fifth."
