حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْوِتْرِ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan.”

‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা রমাযানের শেষ দশকের বেজোড় রাতে লাইলাতুল কদরের অনুসন্ধান কর। (২০১৯, ২০২০, মুসলিম ১৩/৪০, হাঃ ১১৬৯, আহমাদ ২৪৩৪৬)

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah bin Sa'id] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isma'il bin Ja'far] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Suhail] dari [bapaknya] dari ['Aisyah radliallahu 'anha] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Carilah Lailatul Qadar pada malam yang ganjil dalam sepuluh malam yang akhir dari Ramadhan

Sahih al-Bukhari 2017, Book 32, Virtues of the Night of Qadr, Hadith 4. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged diligence in pursuing and seeking out the Night of Qadr by increasing good deeds. It is more likely to occur during the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan every year, which are: the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th nights.

What it teaches

  • The merit of the Night of Qadr and the encouragement to seek it out.
  • Out of His wisdom and mercy, Allah has hidden this night so that people would be diligent in performing worship, seeking this night, and their reward would, thus, be abundant.
  • The Night of Qadr is in the last ten nights of Ramadan, and it is more likely to be on the odd nights.
  • The Night of Qadr is one of the last ten nights of Ramadan. It is the night in which Allah Almighty revealed the Qur’an to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He made this night better than a thousand months in its blessing, its immense significance, and the impact of good deeds performed therein.
  • It was named "the Night of Qadr,"  with a silent "d,"  either due to its honor, as one says: "so-and-so is of great 'qadr' (value or status)," making the addition of "night" an attribution of something to its quality, i.e., the noble night, signifying its immense status, grandeur, rank, etc. {Indeed, We sent it down on a blessed night.} [Surat ad-Dukhān: 3] Alternatively, it could be derived from "taqdīr" (decree), making the addition one of a container to what it contains, i.e., it is the night in which the decree for the year is determined. {On that night, every matter of wisdom is determined.} [Surat ad-Dukhān: 4]
