[Machine] About the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on the night of Al-Qadr, he said: "Whoever wants to seek it, let him seek it on the twenty-seventh night." Shu'ba said, "A trustworthy man mentioned to me from Sufyan that he used to say, 'Whoever wants to seek it, let him seek it on the remaining seven nights.'" Shu'ba said, "I don't know whether he said this or that." Dhawhak or Shu'ba doubted [it]. Abdullah Ibn Ahmad said, "My father, the trustworthy man, was Yahya Ibn Sa'eed Al-Qattaan."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ مُتَحَرِّيَهَا فَلْيَتَحَرَّهَا فِي لَيْلَةِ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَذَكَرَ لِي رَجُلٌ ثِقَةٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ مُتَحَرِّيَهَا فَلْيَتَحَرَّهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الْبَوَاقِي قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَلَا أَدْرِي قَالَ ذَا أَوْ ذَا شُعْبَةُ شَكَّ [قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ] قَالَ أَبِي الرَّجُلُ الثِّقَةُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ
