"My father narrated to me: 'The Night of Al-Qadr was mentioned in the presence of Abu Bakrah, so he said: "I do not search for it due to something that I heard from the Messenger of Allah, except for during the last ten (nights); for indeed I heard him say: 'Search for it when nine remain, or; when seven remain, or; when five remain, or; during the last three nights.'" He (Uyainah) said: "During the twenty (nights) of Ramadan, Abu Bakrah used to perform Salat just as he performed Salat during the rest of the year. But when the (last) ten began, he would struggle (performing more Salat during the night)."

ذُكِرَتْ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِمُلْتَمِسِهَا لِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي تِسْعٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ فِي سَبْعٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ فِي خَمْسٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ فِي ثَلاَثٍ أَوْ آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ كَصَلاَتِهِ فِي سَائِرِ السَّنَةِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ اجْتَهَدَ

ذَكَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِمُلْتَمِسِهَا بَعْدَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا فِي عَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي الْوِتْرِمِنْهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ كَصَلَاتِهِ فِي سَائِرِ السَّنَةِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ اجْتَهَدَ

[Machine] I mentioned the Night of Decree to Abu Bakrah and he said, "I only seek it in the last ten nights, either in the ninth, seventh, fifth, or in the last night." He used to pray in the last ten nights the entire year, and when the last ten nights started, he would strive even more.

ذَكَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ فَقَالَ «مَا أَنَا بِطَالِبِهَا إِلَّا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي تِسْعٍ أَوْ فِي سَبْعٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ خَمْسٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ فِي ثَلَاثٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ» فَكَانَ لَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِشْرِينَ إِلَّا صَلَاتَهُ سَائِرَ السَّنَةِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ اجْتَهَدَ

[Machine] Abu Bakr said, "I only seek it (Laylat al-Qadr) in the last ten nights after hearing something from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I heard him say, 'Seek it in the last ten nights, on the ninth, seventh, or fifth night that remains.' He also mentioned the third or the last night."

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ مَا أَنَا بِمُلْتَمِسُهَا إِلَّا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ بَعْدَ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي تِسْعٍ أَوْ سَبْعٍ يَبْقِينَ» وَذَكَرَ أَيْضًا الْخَمْسَ قَالَ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ أَوْ آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ
