حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ لُوَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا حُدَيْجٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجْتُ حِينَ بَزَغَ الْقَمَرُ كَأَنَّهُ فِلْقُ جَفْنَةٍ فَقَالَ اللَّيْلَةَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 793
It was narrated that 'Ali (RA) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said: "I went out when the moon rose as if it was half of a dish”.Then he said: Tonight is Lailatul-Qadr.
