Imaam Muslim -rahimahullaah- reported in his ‘Saheeh’

(The Book of Fasting: no.762):

“ And Muhammad ibn Haatim and Ibn Abee `Umar narrated to us, both of them: from

Ibn `Uyainah. Ibn Haatim said: Sufyaan ibn `Uyainah narrated to us:

from `Abdah and `Aasim ibn Abin-Nujood, who both heard Zirr ibn Hubaish say: ‘ I asked Ubayy ibn

Ka`b, saying: Your brother Ibn Mas`ood says: Whoever stands in (Night) Prayer

throughout the whole year will attain Laylatul-Qadr (The Night of Decree). So he

said: ‘May Allaah have mercy upon him! He intended that the people

should not just rely (upon a single night). Indeed he knew that it was in Ramadaan;

and that it is in the last ten; and that it was the twenty seventh night.’ Then he swore

an oath, without exception that it was the twenty seventh night.’ So I said: ‘ O

Abul-Mundhir! Upon what basis do you say that?’ He said: ‘Based upon the sign which

Allaah’s Messenger informed us of: that it [i.e. the sun] will rise on that day having no rays’.”

* Imaam an-Nawawee -rahimahullaah- said in his explanation of ‘Saheeh Muslim’:

“…al-Qaadee `Iyaad said: It is said that the meaning of its having

no rays is that this was just a distinctive sign which Allaah -the Most High- made for it

[that year]. He said: Or it is otherwise said: Rather it is on account of the great

number of Angels coming and going on its night; and their descending to the earth, and

their ascending, with that which they descended with. So their wings and their

subtle/ethereal bodies screen the light of the sun and its rays, and Allaah knows best.”

* Imaam Aboo Daawood -rahimahullaah- reported the hadeeth (The Book of the

Prayer: Chapter 319: What occurs regarding the Night of Decree),

(no.1378), with the wording: “…On the morning following that night the sun enters the

morning like a brass dish, having no rays, until it has risen higher.”

[Declared ‘hasan saheeh’ by Shaikh al-Albaanee -rahimahullaah.]

* Imaam Ibn Khuzaymah -rahimahullaah- reported in his ‘Saheeh’ (no.2192):

“ Bundaar narrated to us: Aboo `Aamir narrated to me: Zam`ah narrated

to us: from Salamah -he is Ibn Wahraam-: from `Ikrimah: from Ibn `Abbaas: from the Prophet

that he said regarding the Night of Decree: << It is a pleasant night,

being neither hot nor cold. The sun enters the morning of its day being red and

weak>>.”

-Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “ A hadeeth which is ‘Saheeh’ because of its

witnesses…”
