[Machine] "By Allah, indeed this is in the month of Ramadan, he swears that there is nothing deserving of worship except Him. By Allah, I know for certain that the Night of Decree is this night which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to observe in the morning of the twenty-seventh day. And its sign is that the sun rises on that morning as a white disk, with no rays, as if it were a plate."  

ابن حبّان:٣٦٩٠أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدَةُ بْنُ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ حَدَّثَنِي زِرُّ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَامَ السَّنَةَ أَصَابَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ

أُبَيُّ وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهُ أَلَا هُوَ إِنَّهَا لَفِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ يَحْلِفُ مَا يَسْتَثْنَى وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ هِيَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَقُومَهَا صَبِيحَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَأَمَارَتُهَا أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فِي صَبِيحَةِ يَوْمِهَا بَيْضَاءَ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا كَأَنَّهَا طَسْتٌ

I heard from Ubayy b. Ka'b a statement made by 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud in which he said: He who gets up for prayer (every night) during the year will hit upon Lailat-ul-Qadr. Ubayy said: By Allah I there is no god but He, that (Lailat-ul-Qadr) is in Ramadhan (He swore without reservation: ) By Allah, I know the night; it is the night on which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to pray. It is that which precedes the morning of twenty-seventy and its indication is that the sun rises bright on that day without rays.  

مسلم:٧٦٢aحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الرَّازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدَةُ عَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ يَقُولُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَامَ السَّنَةَ أَصَابَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ

أُبَىٌّ وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ إِنَّهَا لَفِي رَمَضَانَ يَحْلِفُ مَا يَسْتَثْنِي وَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ أَىُّ لَيْلَةٍ هِيَ هِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَنَا بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقِيَامِهَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ صَبِيحَةِ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَأَمَارَتُهَا أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فِي صَبِيحَةِ يَوْمِهَا بَيْضَاءَ لاَ شُعَاعَ لَهَا
