of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward
from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." |

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever prayed
at night the whole month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith and
hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins
will be forgiven." Ibn Shihab (a sub-narrator) said,
"Allah's Apostle died and the people continued observing
that (i.e. Nawafil offered individually, not in
congregation), and it remained as it was during the
Caliphate of Abu Bakr and in the early days of 'Umar's
Caliphate." 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said, "I went out
in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in Ramadan
to the mosque and found the people praying in different
groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little
group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would
better collect these (people) under the leadership of one
Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in congregation!)'. So,
he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b.
Then on another night I went again in his company and the
people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar
remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in
religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform,
but sleep at its time is better than the one they are
offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the
night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part
of the night." |

Narrated 'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle
used to pray (at night) in Ramadan. |

Narrated 'Urwa: That he was informed by 'Aisha, "Allah's
Apostle went out in the middle of the night and prayed in
the mosque and some men prayed behind him. In the morning,
the people spoke about it and then a large number of them
gathered and prayed behind him (on the second night). In the
next morning the people again talked about it and on the
third night the mosque was full with a large number of
people. Allah's Apostle came out and the people prayed
behind him. On the fourth night the Mosque was overwhelmed
with people and could not accommodate them, but the Prophet
came out (only) for the morning prayer. When the morning
prayer was finished he recited Tashah-hud and (addressing
the people) said, "Amma ba'du, your presence was not hidden
from me but I was afraid lest the night prayer (Qiyam)
should be enjoined on you and you might not be able to carry
it on." So, Allah's Apostle died and the situation remained
like that (i.e. people prayed individually). " |

Narrated Abu Salama bin 'Abdur Rahman: that he asked 'Aisha
"How was the prayer of Allah's Apostle in Ramadan?" She
replied, "He did not pray more than eleven Rakat in Ramadan
or in any other month. He used to pray four Rakat ---- let
alone their beauty and length----and then he would pray four
----let alone their beauty and length ----and then he would
pray three Rakat (Witr)." She added, "I asked, 'O Allah's
Apostle! Do you sleep before praying the Witr?' He replied,
'O 'Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep." |

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever fasted the
month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith (i.e. belief) and
hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his past sins will
be forgiven, and whoever stood for the prayers in the night
of Qadr out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from
Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven ." |

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Some men amongst the companions of the
Prophet were shown in their dreams that the night of Qadr
was in the last seven nights of Ramadan. Allah's Apostle
said, "It seems that all your dreams agree that (the Night
of Qadr) is in the last seven nights, and whoever wants to
search for it (i.e. the Night of Qadr) should search in the
last seven (nights of Ramadan)." |

Narrated Abu Salama: I asked Abu Sa'id, and he was a friend
of mine, (about the Night of Qadr) and he said, "We
practiced Itikaf (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle
third of the month of Ramadan with the Prophet . In the
morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet came and
addressed us and said, 'I was informed of (the date of the
Night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it; so search for
it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of
Ramadan. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and
water (as a sign). So, whoever was in l'tikaf with me should
return to it with me (for another 10-day's period)', and we
returned. At that time there was no sign of clouds in the
sky but suddenly a cloud came and it rained till rain-water
started leaking through the roof of the mosque which was
made of date-palm leaf stalks. Then the prayer was
established and I saw Allah's Apostle prostrating in mud and
water and I saw the traces of mud on his forehead." |

Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, "Search for the
Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of
Ramadan." |

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah's Apostle used to
practice Itikaf (in the mosque) in the middle third of
Ramadan and after passing the twenty nights he used to go
back to his house on the 21st, and the people who were in
Itikaf with him also used to go back to their houses. Once
in Ramadan, in which he practiced Itikaf, he established the
night prayers at the night in which he used to return home,
and then he addressed the people and ordered them whatever
Allah wished him to order and said, "I used to practice
Itikaf for these ten days (i.e. the middle 113rd but now I
intend to stay in Itikaf for the last ten days (of the
month); so whoever was in Itikaf with me should stay at his
place of seclusion. I have verily been shown (the date of)
this Night (of Qadr) but I have forgotten it. So search for
it in the odd nights of the last ten days (of this month). I
also saw myself (in the dream) prostrating in mud and
water." On the night of the 21st, the sky was covered with
clouds and it rained, and the rain-water started leaking
through the roof of the mosque at the praying place of the
Prophet . I saw with my own eyes the Prophet at the
completion of the morning prayer leaving with his face
covered with mud and water. |

the last ten nights of Ramadan and used to say, "Look for
the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of the month of
Ramadan ," |

Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet said, "Look for the Night of
Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan ,' on the night when
nine or seven or five nights remain out of the last ten
nights of Ramadan (i.e. 21, 23, 25, respectively)." |
|
13 |
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Allah's Apostle said, "The Night of
Qadr is in the last ten nights of the month (Ramadan),
either on the first nine or in the last (remaining) seven
nights (of Ramadan)." Ibn 'Abbas added, "Search for it on
the twenty-fourth (of Ramadan)." |
|
14 |
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit: The Prophet came out to inform
us about the Night of Qadr but two Muslims were quarreling
with each other. So, the Prophet said, "I came out to inform
you about the Night of Qadr but such-and-such persons were
quarreling, so the news about it had been taken away; yet
that might be for your own good, so search for it on the
29th, 27th and 25th (of Ramadan). |
