عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ

[Machine] About Damarah ibn Abdullah ibn Unais and Abdul Rahman ibn Kaab, they said that they heard Abdullah ibn Unais say, "I sat in the gathering of the Banu Salimah and I was the youngest among them on the morning of the twenty-first of Ramadan. They asked, 'Who will ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the Night of Qadr?' So I said, 'I will.' Then I went and reached him at the time of Maghrib and I prayed with him. Then I stood by his door until he passed by me and he invited me to his house for dinner. He said to me, 'Have dinner.' Truly, I found myself withholding from it due to its scarcity. Then he called for his sandals and stood up, and he said, 'Do you have a need?' I said, 'Yes, the people of Banu Salimah have sent me to ask you about the Night of Qadr.' He asked, 'Which night of the month?' I said, 'The twenty-second night.' He said, 'That is it.' Then he returned and said, 'It is either the following night or the following night.'"  

عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ أُنَيْسٍ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أُنَيْسٍ يَقُولُ جَلَسْتُ فِي مَجْلِسِ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمْ صَبِيحَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالُوا مَنْ يَسْأَلُ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَتَى لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا فَذَهَبْتُ حَتَّى وَافَيْتُ عِنْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ لَيْلَةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ الصَّلَاةَ ثُمَّ وَقَفْتُ لَهُ عَلَى بَابِهِ حَتَّى مَرَّ عَلَيَّ فَأَدْخَلَنِي بَيْتَهُ فَدَعَا لِي بِعَشَاءٍ فَقَالَ لِي «تَعَشَّهْ» فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَكُفُّ عَنْهُ مِنْ قِلَّتِهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِنَعْلَيْهِ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ «كَأَنَّ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ؟» قُلْتُ أَجَلْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَتَى لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ؟ فَقَالَ «كَمِ اللَّيْلَةُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ؟» فَقُلْتُ اثْنَتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ فَقَالَ «هِي اللَّيْلَةُ» ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ «أَوِ الْقَابِلَةُ أَوِ الْقَابِلَةُ»
