Surely We revealed it on the grand night. And
what will make you comprehend what the grand
night is? The grand night is better than a
thousand months. The angels and Gabriel descend
in it by the permission of their Lord for every
affair, Peace! it is till the break of the
morning.
Lailatul Qadr in the Last Seven Nights of
Ramazan
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32
"Taraweeh", Number 232]
Narrated Ibn 'Umar
(Radi
Allah Anhu) : Some men amongst the companions of
the Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu-
alleihi-wasallam ) were shown in their dreams
that the night of Qadr was in the last seven
nights of Ramazan. Allah's Messenger
(sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) said, "It seems
that all your dreams agree that (the Night of
Qadr) is in the last seven nights, and whoever
wants to search for it should search in the last
seven nights of Ramazan."
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32
"Taraweeh", Number 233]
Narrated Abu Salama (Radi Allah Anhu) : I asked
Abu Sa'id (Radi Allah Anhu) about the Night of
Qadr and he said, "We practised Itikaf in the
middle third month of Ramazan with Prophet
Muhammad (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ). In the
morning of the 20th of Ramazan, the Prophet
Muhammad (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) came to
and addressed us and said, " I was informed of
the date of the Night of Qadr but I was caused
to forget it, or I forget, so search it in the
last ten nights of month of Ramazan."
Search Lailatul Qadr in the Odd Nights of
Last Ten Nights of Ramazan
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32 "Taraweeh",
Number 238]
Narrated 'Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Anha): The
Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam
) said:
"Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten
nights of Ramazan on the night when nine or
seven or five nights remain out of the last ten
nights of the Ramazan."
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32
"Taraweeh", Number 239]
Narrated 'Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Anha) in this
quotation: Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu-
alleihi-wasallam ) said:
"The Night of Qadr is in the last ten nights of
the month of Ramazan either on the first nine or
in the last (remaining) seven nights of
Ramazan."
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32
"Taraweeh", Number 241]
Narrated 'Aisha (Radi Allah Anhu) : With the
start of the last ten days of Ramazan, Allah's
Messenger (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) used
to tighten his waist-belt (i.e. hard work) and
used to offer Salat (Prayer) all the night, and
used to keep his family awake for the Salat
(prayers).
[Sahih
Muslim : Book 6 "Kitab Al-Sawm",
Number 2632]
'A'isha
(Radi Allah Anhu)
Allah's Messenger
(sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam )
as saying:
"Look for (and in the words of Waki, seek)
Lailat-ul-Qadr in the last ten nights of
Ramadan."
[Sahih Muslim : Book 6 "Kitab Al-Sawm",
Number 2633]
Zirr b. Habaish (Radi Allah Anhu) reported Ubayy
b. Ka'b (Radi Allah Anhu) took oath (without
making any exception, i. e. without saying
Innsha 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 (sal-allahu-
alleihi-wasallam ) gave us, and that is that on
that day (the sun) would rise without having any
ray in it.
[Sahih Muslim : Book 6 "Kitab Al-Sawm",
Number 2634]
Zirr b. Hubaish (Radi Allah Anhu) reported that
Ubayy b. Ka'b (Radi Allah Anhu) said about
Lailat-ul-Qadr: By Allah, I know well about it.
Shu'ba said: To the best of my knowledge it was
the twenty-seventh night for which the Messenger
of Allah (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam )
commanded us to stand for prayer. Shu'ba doubted
these words: That it was the night for which the
Messenger of Allah (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam
) commanded us to stand for prayer. And (he
further) said: This was narrated to me by a
friend of mine from him (the Holy Prophet).
[Sahih Muslim :
Book 6 "Kitab Al-Sawm", Number 2635]
Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) reported: We were
talking about Lailat-ul-Qadr in the presence of
the Messenger of Allah (sal-allahu-
alleihi-wasallam ) and he said: "He who amongst
you remembers (the night) when the moon arose
and it was like a piece of plate (at the fag end
of the month in a state of waning)."
