Abu Saeed AlKhudri Allah be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed itikaf in the middle ten days of Ramadan to seek Lailat AlQadr before it was made manifest to him. When these nights were over; he commanded to strike the tent. Then it was made manifest to him that Lailat AlQadr was in the last ten nights of Ramadan ; and commanded to pitch the tent again. He then came to the people and said: O people; Lailat AlQadr was made manifest to me and I came out to inform you about it that two persons came contending with each other and there was a devil along with them and I forgot it. So seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Seek it on the ninth; on the seventh and on the fifth. I one of the narrators said: Abu Said; you know more than us about numbers. He said: Yes; indeed we have better right than you. I said: What is this ninth; seventh; and fifth? He said: When twenty-one nights are over and the twenty-second begins; it is the ninth; and when twenty-three nights are over; that which follows the last night is the seventh; and when twenty-five nights are over; what follows it is fifth. Ibn Khallad said: Instead of the word Yahliqan contending ; he said Yakhtasiman; they are disputing.
