عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ

[Machine] On the authority of Abdullah bin Unais, companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he was asked about the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr). He replied, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Seek it on the 27th night.' That night is the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan.' A man asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, is it then the first of the eight nights?' He replied, 'No, it is the first of the seven (odd nights) because the month does not complete its count.'"

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْتَمِسُوهَا اللَّيْلَةَ» وَتِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةُ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هِيَ إِذًا أَوَّلُ ثَمَانٍ قَالَ «بَلْ أَوَّلُ سَبْعٍ إِذِ الشَّهْرُ لَا يُتِمُّ»
