Jami at-Tirmidhi 793 (Book 8, Hadith 112) #26358
The Night of the 27th in Ramadan

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad informing his companions that a certain night in Ramadan is the night of the 27th, and Ibn Mas'ud learning this but not wanting to inform others so they would not depend on it.

Zirr said: "I said to Ubayy bin Ka'b: 'O Abu Al-Mundhir! How do you know that it is the night of the twenty-seventh?' He said: 'Rather, the Messenger of Allah informed us that it is a night (after which) the sun rises without rays, so we counted and we remembered it. By Allah! Ibn Mas'ud learned that it is in Ramadan and that it is the nigh of the twenty-seventh, but he did not want to inform you lest you would depend on it".
حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّى عَلِمْتَ أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ بَلَى أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةٌ صَبِيحَتُهَا تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَعَدَدْنَا وَحَفِظْنَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَكِنْ كَرِهَ أَنْ يُخْبِرَكُمْ فَتَتَّكِلُوا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

Seek out blessings from Laylat al-Qadr through extra worship during this time period .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a certain night in the month of Ramadan, which is known as Laylat al-Qadr or “the Night of Power”. It was revealed to Prophet Muhammad that this special night falls on the 27th day of Ramadan, and he informed his companions about it. However, Ibn Mas’ud learned this information but did not want to tell others because he did not want them to rely too heavily on it. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when sharing knowledge with others; we should make sure that they are able to think for themselves and come up with their own conclusions instead of relying solely on what we tell them. Additionally, it also reminds us how important Laylat al-Qadr is; even though its exact date may be unknown, Muslims should still strive to seek out its blessings by engaging in extra worship during this time period.
