English Translation
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: 'We observed i'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) during the middle ten days of Ramadan. On the morning of the twentieth of Ramadan, he stood among us and said: Whoever left should return, for I was shown the Night of al-Qadr and I forgot it. So seek it in the last ten nights on the odd nights. I was shown that I was prostrating in water and mud. We did not see a single cloud in the sky. The prayer was called and a cloud appeared and it rained until the roof of the mosque was flowing — and their roof at that time was made of palm fronds. I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) prostrating in mud and water until I saw the traces of mud on the tip of his nose and his forehead.'
