The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to inform the people about the ˹date of the˺ Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr) but there happened a quarrel between two Muslim men. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I came out to inform you about ˹the date of˺ the Night of Qadr, but as so and so have quarrelled, and its knowledge has been taken away (i.e. I have made to forgot it) and maybe it was better for you. Now look for it in the seventh, the sixth and the fifth ˹of the last ten nights of the month of Ramaḍān)."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ يُخْبِرُ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَتَلاَحَى رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ لأُخْبِرَكُمْ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَإِنَّهُ تَلاَحَى فُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ فَرُفِعَتْ وَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرًا لَكُمُ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ وَالتِّسْعِ وَالْخَمْسِ۔»  

The Prophet ﷺ came out to inform us about the Night of Qadr but two Muslims were quarreling with each other. So, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I came out to inform you about the Night of Qadr but such-and-such persons were quarreling, so the news about it had been taken away; yet that might be for your own good, so search for it on the 29th, 27th and 25th (of Ramadan).  

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِيُخْبِرَنَا بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَتَلاَحَى رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ خَرَجْتُ لأُخْبِرَكُمْ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَتَلاَحَى فُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ فَرُفِعَتْ وَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرًا لَكُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَالسَّابِعَةِ وَالْخَامِسَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us wanting to inform us about the Night of Qadr (Decree). Two men began quarreling, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I came out wanting to inform you about the Night of Qadr, but two men quarreled, so it was raised up (knowledge of it) and it may be better for you. So seek it on the ninth, or the seventh, or the fifth night."  

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْبِرَنَا بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَتَلَاحَى رَجُلَانِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجْتُ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخْبِرَكُمْ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَتَلَاحَى رَجُلَانِ فَرُفِعَتْ وَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرًا لَكُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِيالتَّاسِعَةِ أَوِ السَّابِعَةِ أَوِ الْخَامِسَةِ
