حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْبِرَنَا بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَتَلَاحَى رَجُلَانِ فَرُفِعَتْ فَقَالَ خ
َرَجْتُ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخْبِرَكُمْ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَتَلَاحَى رَجُلَانِ فَرُفِعَتْ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَالسَّابِعَةِ وَالْخَامِسَةِ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ وَقَالَ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ الَّتِي تَبْقَى
