[Machine] Qatadah and 'Asim reported that they heard Ikrimah say, "Ibn 'Abbas said that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab gathered the companions of Muhammad ﷺ and asked them about Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree). They all agreed that it is in the last ten nights (of Ramadan). Ibn 'Abbas then said, 'I know and I have an opinion about which night it is.' 'Umar asked, 'Which night is it?' Ibn 'Abbas said, 'The seventh night (of the last ten) that passes or the seventh night that remains of the last ten.' 'Umar asked, 'How do you know that?' Ibn 'Abbas replied, 'I said that Allah created seven heavens and seven earths, and the month revolves in seven (days), and He created man from seven (components), and he eats from seven (types of food), and he prostrates on seven (body parts), and he circumambulates the House (of Allah) seven (times), and he throws the stones (during the Hajj rites) seven (times).'" 'Umar said, "You have gained knowledge of something that we did not." Qatadah commented, "Qatadah agreed with Ibn 'Abbas in his statement that eating from 'seven' (is correct). This is Allah's statement, 'So We produced therefrom fruit of various kinds, and grapes.' (Qur'an 78:32)."

bayhaqi:8558 – al-Faqīh Abū

[Machine] Ibn Abbas called upon Umar and the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and asked them about the Night of Decree. They all agreed that it is in the last ten nights. So I said to Umar, "I know and I think which night it is." He asked, "Which night is it?" I said, "The seventh night, whether it passes or remains from the last ten nights." He asked, "How do you know?" I said, "I know because Allah created seven heavens and seven earths, and He created seven days, and surely time revolves in seven (days), and He created the human being with seven organs for eating and prostrating, and circumambulation (around the Kaaba) is seven, and there are seven mountains." So Umar said, "You have indeed realized something that we did not realize."
