[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ went out one night to his companions, intending to inform them about the Night of Decree. He mentioned the hadith, except that he said, 'Seek it in the last ten nights, on the ninth, seventh, or fifth.'"  

أحمد:٢٢٦٧٤حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ وَحُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْبِرَهُمْ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَاطْلُبُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي تَاسِعَةٍ أَوْ سَابِعَةٍ أَوْ خَامِسَةٍ
