حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ فِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَدْ سَأَلَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ، قَالَ: جَلَسَ مَعَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ فِي مَجْلِسِ جُهَيْنَةَ - قَالَ: فِي رَمَضَانَ - قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: يَا أَبَا يَحْيَى، سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، جَلَسْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي آخِرِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ، فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَتَى نَلْتَمِسُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ الْمُبَارَكَةَ؟ قَالَ: " الْتَمِسُوهَا هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ " وَقَالَ: وَذَلِكَ مَسَاءَ لَيْلَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: وَهِيَ إِذًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوَّلُ ثَمَانٍ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِأَوَّلِ ثَمَانٍ، وَلَكِنَّهَا أَوَّلُ السَّبْعِ (١) إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ لَا يَتِمُّ " (٢)، ،

Abdullah bin Abdullah Khabib says that during the time of Umar Farooq, a man requested assistance from him, and he gave him something. That man said that once, in a gathering of the tribe of Juhaina, a companion of the Prophet (ﷺ), Abdullah bin Unais, was sitting with us. It was the month of Ramadan. We said to him: O Abu Yahya, have you heard anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding this blessed night? He replied: Yes, once we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the last part of this month. We asked the Prophet (ﷺ): O Messenger of Allah! When should we seek this blessed night? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Seek it tonight. It was the 23rd night. A man said upon this: O Messenger of Allah! In this way, it is the night before the eighth. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Not the first of the eight, but the first of the seven. Sometimes the month is complete.
