حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالسَّابِعَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْخَامِسَةِ . قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِالْعَدَدِ مِنَّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَجَلْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا التَّاسِعَةُ وَالسَّابِعَةُ وَالْخَامِسَةُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا مَضَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا التَّاسِعَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا مَضَى ثَلَاثٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا السَّابِعَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا مَضَى خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا الْخَامِسَةُ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَدْرِي أَخَفِيَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ أَمْ لَا.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Seek it (laylat al-Qadr) in the last ten days of Ramadan. Seek it on the ninth, seventh and fifth night. I (Abu Nadrah) said: You know counting better than us, Abu Saeed. He said: Yes. I asked: What do you mean by the ninth, seventh and fifth night? He said: When the twenty-first night passes, the night which follows it is the night; when the twenty-third night passes, the night which follows it is the seventh; when the twenty-fifth passes, the night which follows it is the fifth. Abu Dawud said: I do not know whether anything remained hidden from me or not.
