Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said about Laylat al-Qadr: "It is a pleasant night, neither hot nor cold. In its morning, the sun rises red and weak."

Hazrat Zirr says that I asked Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) to tell me about Laylat al-Qadr, because our companions asked Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) about it, so he replied that whoever stands (in prayer) throughout (the nights), he will attain Laylat al-Qadr. So Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said: May Allah have mercy on Abu Abdur Rahman. Certainly, he knows that Laylat al-Qadr is in the blessed month of Ramadan, but he disliked that people should rely (on a specific night and neglect striving in worship), or he liked that people should not rely (on a specific night). By Allah, Laylat al-Qadr is on the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan. He did not make any exception in this (rather, he swore that it is the twenty-seventh night). He says: I asked, Abu Mundhir, how did you know this? He replied: By the sign which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us. Hazrat Asim says: I asked Zirr (may Allah have mercy on him), what is that sign? He replied: On the morning of Laylat al-Qadr, the sun will rise like a tray, and until it rises high, it will have no rays.

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Laylat al-Qadr is on the twenty-seventh or twenty-ninth night, and on that night the angels are more numerous than the number of pebbles."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever offered the ‘Isha prayer in congregation during Ramadan, he has attained Laylat al-Qadr."

Imam Abu Bakr, may Allah have mercy on him, says that in the narration of Hazrat Abu Salamah from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id, may Allah be pleased with him, it is stated: "Indeed, the Night of Qadr was shown to me, then I was made to forget it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Laylat al-Qadr was shown to me (in a dream), then my family woke me up and I forgot it. Therefore, seek it in the last ten nights."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came out of his house to inform about the Night of Qadr, when two Muslim men were arguing. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I came out to inform you about the Night of Qadr, but so-and-so and so-and-so were arguing, so the knowledge of the Night of Qadr was taken away, and perhaps this is better for you. Therefore, seek it in the ninth, seventh, and fifth nights." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the meaning of "fa rufi'at" is that the knowledge and recognition of that night has been taken away from me.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that whoever fasts during the month of Ramadan with faith and seeking reward, his past sins are forgiven.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Anis (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah, I live in a village and, by the grace of Allah, I also offer prayers there. So command me regarding a night on which I should come to this mosque and offer prayer (i.e., in Masjid Nabawi)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come on the twenty-third night." Muhammad bin Ibrahim says that I asked the son of Abdullah, "How did your esteemed father use to do?" He replied, "He would enter Masjid Nabawi after offering the Asr prayer and would not leave until he had performed the Fajr prayer. Then he would leave the mosque, and his mount would be at the door of the mosque, so he would ride it and go to his family."
