[Machine] I asked Abu Dharr if he had asked the Messenger of Allah about Laylat al-Qadr. He said, "I used to ask about it excessively. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, inform me about Laylat al-Qadr, is it in Ramadan or in another month?' He said, 'It is in the month of Ramadan.' So I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, were you with the prophets when they were taken and raised up?' He said, 'No, but it extends until the Day of Judgment.' I said, 'Then inform me in which ten nights of Ramadan it is.' He said, 'Seek it in the last ten nights, and if you don't find it then, seek it in the first ten nights.' Then the Prophet of Allah spoke again, and his speech was interrupted, so I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, inform me in which ten nights it is.' He became angry with me, with the most severe anger that he had ever shown before or after. Then he said, 'Seek it in the last seven nights, and do not ask me about anything after that.'"
