حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ كَانَ مُلْتَمِسًا فَلْيَلْتَمِسْهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ فَإِنْ عَجَزَ أَوْ ضَعُفَ فَلَا يُغْلَبْ عَلَى السَّبْعِ الْبَوَاقِي
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5031
'Uqbah ibn Hurayth narrated I heard 'Abdullah ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Whoever wants to seek it (Laytat al-Qadr), let him geek it in the (last) ten, and if one of you feels weak or tired, that should not cause him to miss the last seven (nights).”
