حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خُلَيْدٍ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ: نَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ. يَرُدُّهُ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ:
لَمَّا كَانَ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، اعْتَكَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ: إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ اللَّيْلَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيَقُمْ، فَهِيَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ "، فَصَلَّى لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَمَاعَةً بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ، حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا، وَلَمْ يَقُمْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ، قَامَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ اللَّيْلَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ " - يَعْنِي: لَيْلَةَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ - فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَقُمْ ". فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ، قَامَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ " - يَعْنِي: لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ - " فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيَقُمْ ". قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: فَتَجَلَّدْنَا لِلْقِيَامِ، فَقَامَ بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثَا اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى قُبَّةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنْ كُنَّا لَقَدْ طَمِعْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَقُومُ بِنَا حَتَّى نُصْبِحَ قَالَ: " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، إِنَّكَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ مَعَ إِمَامِكَ، وَانْصَرَفْتَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ، كُتِبَ لَكَ قُنُوتُ لَيْلَتِكَ

✧ When the last ten nights of Ramadan came, the Prophet ﷺ observed iʿtikāf in the mosque. After the Prophet ﷺ prayed the ʿAṣr prayer on the twenty-second day, he said: 'We shall stand in prayer tonight, if God wills. Whoever wishes to stand, let him stand.' That was the night of the twenty-third. The Prophet ﷺ led us in congregational prayer after the evening prayer until a third of the night had passed, then he left. On the night of the twenty-fourth, he did not say anything and did not stand. On the night of the twenty-fifth, he stood after the ʿAṣr prayer on the twenty-fourth day and said: 'We shall stand tonight, if God wills'—meaning the night of the twenty-fifth—'whoever wishes, let him stand.' The Prophet ﷺ prayed until half the night had passed. On the night of the twenty-sixth, he stood and said: 'We shall stand, if God wills'—meaning the night of the twenty-seventh—'whoever wishes to stand, let him stand.' Abū Dharr said: We steeled ourselves for the night prayer. The Prophet ﷺ led us until two-thirds of the night had passed, then he went to a tent in the mosque. I said to him: 'We had hoped, O Messenger of God, that you would lead us until morning.' He said: 'O Abū Dharr, if you pray with your imam and leave when he leaves, the qunūt of your night will be recorded for you.'
