[Machine] A group of the Ansar (supporters) said: "Who is the man whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has sent?" Abdullah said, "I am." They said, "Then go and ask him when Laylat Al-Qadr (The Night of Decree) will be." So, I left until I reached the end of the sunset at some of the doorways of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then, the Prophet ﷺ went out to perform the Maghrib prayer and I prayed with him. He went out and I went out with him until he entered his house, and I was with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then made a Du'a (supplication) for a tear-drop, asking for Allah's aid, until I witnessed myself being mentioned by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ due to his scarcity of food. When he finished, he called for his sandal and said, "I think you have a need." I said, "Indeed, O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so and so-and-so have sent me to ask you about the Night of Decree." He said, "It is tonight." And that night was the twenty-second night of Ramadan. Then he said, "What night is it?" I said, "The twenty-second night." He said, "No, rather it is the next night, the twenty-third."
أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا مَنْ رَجُلٌ نَبْعَثُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا قَالُوا فَاذْهَبْ فَسَلْهُ لَنَا مَتَى لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ؟ فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى وَافِيتُ غُرُوبَ الشَّمْسِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَبْيَاتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ يُصَلِّي بِالْمَغْرِبِ فَصَلَّى وَخَرَجَ فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقَطْرَةٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ فَرَأَيْتُنِي وَأَنَا أُدْعَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ قِلَّةِ طَعَامِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ دَعَا بِنَعْلِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي أَظُنُّ أَنَّ لَكَ حَاجَةً» قُلْتُ أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَتَى لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ؟ قَالَ «اللَّيْلَةُ» وَتِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةُ لَيْلَةُ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا اللَّيْلَةُ؟» قُلْتُ لَيْلَةُ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ «لَا بَلِ اللَّيْلَةُ الْمُقْبِلَةُ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ»
