حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا (٣) 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 اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ. اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَشْرَ الْوَسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَخَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ 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 اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلْيَرْجِعْ "، فَرَجَعْنَا وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً، فَجَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَمُطِرْنَا، حَتَّى سَالَ سَقْفُ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ، وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْجُدُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الطِّينِ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) observed i'tikaf during the middle ten days of Ramadan: we also observed i'tikaf with him. When the morning of the twentieth day came, the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by us while we were moving our belongings. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever was observing i'tikaf should remain in his i'tikaf. I had seen Laylat al-Qadr, but then its exact determination was made to be forgotten by me. However, on that night I saw myself prostrating in mud. At that time, the roof of Masjid Nabawi was made of wood. That night it rained, and I saw that there were marks of mud on the nose and forehead of the Prophet (ﷺ).
