Sunan Ibn Majah 1766 (Book 7, Hadith 129) #31118
Seeking Lailatul-Qadr in Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was shown the night of power (Lailatul-Qadr) during the middle ten days of Ramadan, but he was caused to forget it. He then advised his followers to seek it in the last ten nights, on odd-numbered nights.

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: "We observed I’tikaf with the Messenger of Allah during the middle ten days of Ramadan. He said: 'I have been shown Lailatul-Qadr, then I was caused to forget it, so seek it in the last ten night, on the odd-numbered nights.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ الْعَشْرَ الأَوْسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ فِي الْوَتْرِ
