Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرٌ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْبَعْثِ كَانَ غَالِبًا اللَّيْثِيَّ وَقُطْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الَّذِي دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّخْلَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ الْبَابِ وَقَدْ تَسَوَّرَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْجِدَارِ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ الَّذِي سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ اثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ لَيْلَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْتَمِسْهَا فِي هَذِهِ السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ الَّتِي بَقِينَ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ.
English Translation
Hasan told us, Ibn Lahi'ah told us, Abu al-Zubayr told us: Jabir informed me that the commander of the expedition was Ghalib al-Laythi, and with him was Qutbah ibn 'Amir, who entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, at the palm grove while the Prophet was in the state of ihram, then went out through the gate after having climbed over the wall; and Abdullah ibn Unays, who asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about the Night of Decree when twenty-two nights of Ramadan had passed. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Seek it in these last seven nights that remain of the month."
