[Machine] I asked Abu Dharr, I said to him, "Did you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the Night of Decree?" He said, "I used to ask people about it." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about the Night of Decree. Is it in Ramadan or in other than it?" He said, "Indeed, it is in Ramadan." I said, "Does it coincide with the night when the Prophets were taken up (to the heavens) or is it until the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "No, rather it is until the Day of Resurrection." I said, "In which (part) of Ramadan is it?" He said, "Search for it in the first ten (nights) and the last ten (nights). Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated (some Hadiths) and I became negligent. I said, "In which of the twenty (nights) is it?" He said, "Search for it in the last seven (nights). Do not ask me about anything after it." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated (some Hadiths) and I became negligent. So, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by my right upon you, when did you inform me in which part of Ramadan it is?" He became angry with me, an anger that he had never displayed to me before or after it. He said, "Search for it in the last seven (nights). Do not ask me about anything after it."
