6. Retiring to a Mosque
٦۔ كِتَابُ الِاعْتِكَافِ
[Machine] "In the month of Ramadan, it is (known) as the twenty-seventh night. Then (someone) swore and said that it is definitely the twenty-seventh night. I asked, 'By what sign do you say that, O Abu Al-Mundhir?' He said, 'By the sign that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us about, that it rises that day with no rays of light.' (Hadith number 402) Ya'qub bin Ibrahim reported to us from Sufyan, from 'Asim, from Zirr who said (something similar). Ya'qub bin Ibrahim reported to us from Sufyan, from Ibn Abi Khalid, from Zirr who said (something similar)."
أَنَّهَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ثُمَّ يَحْلِفُ لَا يَسْتَثْنِي إِنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قُلْتُ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَقُولُ ذَاكَ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ؟ قَالَ بِالْعَلَامَةِ الَّتِي أَخْبَرَنَا بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا [402] 3393 أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ مِثْلَهُ 3394 أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ نَحْوَهُ
[Machine] "I saw an old man in the mosque, his beard had turned grey, so I asked him, how old are you? He replied, "120 years." He said, "I heard Ubayy say, 'The Night of Power is on the twenty-seventh night.'"
رَأَيْتُ زِرًّا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ تَخْتَلِجُ لِحْيَتُهُ كِبَرًا فَسَأَلْتُهُ كَمْ بَلَغْتَ؟ قَالَ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةَ سَنَةٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُبَيًّا يَقُولُ «لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ»
[Machine] I heard Ubayy say, "I know the night, it is the twenty-seventh night. It is the night that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us about. It appears in its morning whiteness as if it were a smooth plate without a ray." Abu Abdur Rahman al-Ajlani said, "It is not that strong." And he had a bad opinion.
سَمِعْتُ أُبَيًّا يَقُولُ «إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُهَا هِي لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ هِي اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي أَخْبَرَنَا بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَهَا وَلَيْلَتَهَا تَطْلُعُ فِي صَبِيحَتِهَا بَيْضَاءَ كَأَنَّهَا طَسْتٌ لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَجْلَحُ لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ الْقَوِيِّ وكان له رأي سوءٍ
[Machine] Narrated by a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "I looked at the moon on the night of Al-Qadr and I saw it as if it was split into two halves." Abu Ishaq said, "That could only be the morning of the twenty-third (of Ramadan)."
عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ فَلَقُ جَفْنَةٍ» قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ صَبِيحَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ
