'Abdullah bin Unais reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: I was shown Lailat-ul-Qadr; then I was made to forget it, and saw that I was prostrating in water and clay in the morning of that (night). He (the narrator) said: There was a downpour on the twenty-third night and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) led us in prayer, and as he went back, there was a trace of water and clay on his forehead and on his nose. He (the narrator) said: 'Abdullah bin Unais used to say that it was the twenty-third (night).

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and Ibn Numair reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Look for (and in the words of Waki, seek) Lailat-ul-Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan.

Zirr bin Habaish reported: I asked Ubayy bin Ka'b (RA): Your brother (in faith) Ibn Mas'ud says: He who stands (for the night prayer) throughout the year would find Lailat-ul-Qadr, whereupon he said: May Allah have mercy upon him; (he said these words) with the intention that people might not rely only (on one night), whereas he knew that it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) is in the month of Ramadan and it is the twenty-seventh night. He then took oath (without making any exception, i. e. without saying Innsha Allah) that it was the twenty-seventh night. I said to him: Abu Mundhir, on what ground do you say that? Thereupon he said: By the indication or by the sign which the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave us, and that is that on that day (the sun) would rise without having any ray in it.

Zirr bin Hubaish reported that Ubayy bin Ka'b (RA) said about Lailat-ul-Qadr: By Allah, I know well about it. Shu'bah said: To the best of my knowledge it was the twenty-seventh night for which the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded us to stand for prayer. Shu'bah doubted these words: That it was the night for which the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded us to stand for prayer. And (he further) said: This was narrated to me by a friend of mine from him (the Holy Prophet).

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: We were talking about Lailat-ul-Qadr in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he said: He who amongst you remembers (the night) when the moon arose and it was like a piece of plate (at the fag end of the month in a state of waning).
