Chapter 15 · The Book of Fastingوحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ، وَعَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، سَمِعَا زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ، يَقُولُ: سَأَلْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أَخَاكَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَقُمِ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ؟ فَقَالَ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يَتَّكِلَ النَّاسُ، أَمَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ، وَأَنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، وَأَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ، ثُمَّ حَلَفَ لَا يَسْتَثْنِي، أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ، فَقُلْتُ: بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ؟ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ: بِالْعَلَامَةِ، أَوْ بِالْآيَةِ الَّتِي «أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا».

I thu asked Ubayy bin Ka'b ( رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ): Your brother (in faith) Ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ says: He who stands (for the night prayer) throughout the year would find Lailat-ul-Qadr, whereupon he said: May Allah have mercy upon him; (he said these words) with the intention that people might not rely only (on one night), whereas he knew that it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) is in the month of Ramadan and it is the twenty-seventh night. He then took oath (without making any exception, i. e. without saying In sha Allah) that it was the twenty-seventh night. I said to him: Abu Mundhir, on what ground do you say that? Thereupon he said: By the indication or by the sign which the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave us, and that is that on that day (the sun) would rise without having any ray in it.
