Seek Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree) in the odd nights out of the last ten nights of Ramadan

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) used to observe I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan and say,

"Seek Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree) in the odd nights out of the last ten nights of Ramadan.''

[Al-Bukhari]


Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that Lailat-ul-Qadr occurs in any of the five odd nights - 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th - of the last ten nights of Ramadan. Its exact date has not been revealed for the reason that people keep themselves awake for prayer for a larger number of nights. Had its date been fixed, people would have kept awake for prayer only on that night.

Riyad-us-Saliheen – Hadith No : 1192

Please Share this Hadith with your relatives & friends and may Allah SWT reward you.
