54. Tafsīr (Exegesis)
٥٤۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the Night of Qadr, and he replied, "Search for it in the last ten nights of Ramadan."
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ «تَحَرَّوْهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ»
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say when bowing: 'Subbuhun Quddusun Rabbul-mala'ikati war-ruh (Perfect, Most Holy, is the Lord of the angels and the spirit).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1048)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ «سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ»
"O Messenger of Allah, what do you think I should say in my supplication, if I come upon Laylatul-Qadr?" He said: "Say: 'Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni (O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3850)
قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنْ وَافَقْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ مَاذَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ تَقُولِينَ اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
[Machine] The Quran was revealed in its entirety in one night, which is the Night of Decree. Allah used to reveal it to the Messenger of Allah piece by piece. They said, "Why was the Quran not revealed to him all at once? In that case, your heart would have been firm, but it was revealed piecemeal." [Surah Al-Furqan, 32]
نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَكَانَ اللهُ ﷻ يُنَزِّلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْضَهُ فِي أَثَرِ بَعْضٍ قَالُوا {لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً كَذَلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنَاهَ تَرْتِيلًا} [الفرقان 32]
[Machine] If it were not for your foolishness, I would have put my hand in my ear and called out that the Night of Decree is the twenty-seventh night, a narration from one who did not lie to me about a narration from one who did not lie to me, meaning from Ubai ibn Ka'b, from the Prophet ﷺ . Abu Abdullah said, "Your fools, the letter 'ha' has fallen from my book."
لَوْلَا سُفَهَاؤُكُمْ لَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي فِي أُذُنِي فَنَادَيْتُ إِنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ نَبَأُ مَنْ لَمْ يَكْذِبْنِي عَنْ نَبَأِ مَنْ لَمْ يُكْذِبْنِي يَعْنِي عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سُفَهَاؤُكُمْ سَقَطَتِ الْهَاءُ مِنْ كِتَابِي
