Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سِمَاكٌ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أُتِيتُ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقِيلَ لِي إِنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ وَأَنَا نَاعِسٌ فَتَعَلَّقْتُ بِبَعْضِ أَطْنَابِ فُسْطَاطِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي فَنَظَرْتُ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ فَإِذَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ.
English Translation
Ibn Abbas said: I was told while asleep in Ramadan: 'Tonight is the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr).' I got up drowsily and held onto some of the ropes of the tent of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and found him praying. I looked and found it was the twenty-third night.
