حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ اعْتَکَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوْسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي الْوَتْرِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1766
It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "We observed I'likd! with the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H middle ten days of Ramadan. He said: 'I have been shown Lailatul-Qadr. then I was caused to forget it, so seek it in the last ten nights, on the odd-numbered nights.''(Sahih)
