[Machine] I was sleeping when I was informed that tonight is the Night of Decree. So I woke up while still feeling drowsy and my legs got entangled in the straps of the Prophet's prayer mat. I went to the Prophet ﷺ and found him standing in prayer. Ibn Abbas narrated, "So I looked at the night and behold, it was the twenty-third night." (The wording is according to the narration of Abu Al-Walid At-Tayalisi)  

الطبراني:١١٧٧٧ – حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مُنْذِرٍ الْقَزَّازُ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّمَّارُ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ الْمَازِنِيُّ قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ

كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فَأَتَيْتُ فَقِيلَ لِي إِنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ فَقُمْتُ وَأَنَا نَاعِسٌ فَتَعَلَّقَتْ رِجْلَيَّ بِبَعْضِ أَطْنَابِ فُسْطَاطِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَنَظَرْتُ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ فَإِذَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ «وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيِّ»

[Machine] I got up while I was sleepy, and I held onto some locks of the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ hair, then I came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and he was praying. So I looked at that night and it turned out to be the twenty-third night.

فَقُمْتُ وَأَنَا نَاعِسٌ فَتَعَلَّقْتُ بِبَعْضِ أَطْنَابِ فُسْطَاطِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ فَإِذَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ
