Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ تَذَاكَرْنَا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَكَانَ صَدِيقًا لِي فَقُلْتُ اخْرُجْ بِنَا إِلَى النَّخْلِ فَخَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ لَيْ
لَةَ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ نَعَمْ اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَشْرَ الْوَسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَخَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ فَقَالَ أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا أَوْ قَالَ فَنَسِيتُهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي الْوَتْرِ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ فَمَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلْيَرْجِعْ فَرَجَعْنَا وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً فَجَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَمُطِرْنَا حَتَّى سَالَ سَقْفُ الْمَسْجِدِ وَكَانَ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ وَأُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْجُدُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الطِّينِ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ

Isma'il narrated to us, Hisham al-Dastawa'i informed us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah who said: We were discussing Laylat al-Qadr among a group of the Quraysh, so I went to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) — who was a companion of mine — and asked him about Laylat al-Qadr. He said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed i'tikaf during the first ten days of Ramadan, then during the middle ten, and he was in a Turkish tent with a mat over its opening. He took the mat aside and said: 'I observed i'tikaf during the first ten days seeking this night, then during the middle ten. Then I was approached and told: It is in the last ten. Whoever among you wishes to observe i'tikaf, let him do so.' So the people observed i'tikaf with him. He said: 'I was shown an odd night, and I saw myself prostrating in water and mud.' On the morning of the twenty-first, Abu Sa'id looked at the Prophet ﷺ's face and it had traces of water and mud.
