Sahih al-Bukhari 813 (Book 10, Hadith 208) #788
The Night of Qadr and its Significance

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was informed by Gabriel that the Night of Qadr is in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. He saw a dream where he was prostrating in mud and water, which came true when it rained during prayer.

Narrated Abu Salama: Once I went to Abu- Sa'id Al-Khudri and asked him, "Won't you come with us to the date-palm trees to have a talk?" So Abu Sa'id went out and I asked him, "Tell me what you heard from the Prophet ﷺ about the Night of Qadr". Abu Sa'id replied, "Once Allah's Messenger ﷺ performed I'tikaf (seclusion) on the first ten days of the month of Ramadan and we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The night you are looking for is ahead of you'. So the Prophet ﷺ performed the I'tikaf in the middle (second) ten days of the month of Ramadan and we too performed I'tikaf with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The night which you are looking for is ahead of you'. In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan the Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon saying, 'Whoever has performed I'tikaf with me should continue it. I have been shown the Night of "Qadr", but have forgotten its date, but it is in the odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my dream that I was prostrating in mud and water'. In those days the roof of the mosque was made of branches of date-palm trees. At that time the sky was clear and no cloud was visible, but suddenly a cloud came and it rained. The Prophet ﷺ led us in the prayer and I saw the traces of mud on the forehead and on the nose of Allah's Messenger ﷺ. So it was the confirmation of that dream".
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فَقُلْتُ أَلاَ تَخْرُجُ بِنَا إِلَى النَّخْلِ نَتَحَدَّثْ فَخَرَجَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي مَا، سَمِعْتَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ، ﷺ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ‏.‏ قَالَ اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشْرَ الأُوَلِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَاعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَهُ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُ أَمَامَكَ‏.‏ فَاعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الأَوْسَطَ، فَاعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَهُ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الَّذِي تَطْلُبُ أَمَامَكَ‏.‏ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَطِيبًا صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلْيَرْجِعْ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ، وَإِنِّي نُسِّيتُهَا، وَإِنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ فِي وِتْرٍ، وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي أَسْجُدُ فِي طِينٍ وَمَاءٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانَ سَقْفُ الْمَسْجِدِ جَرِيدَ النَّخْلِ وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ شَيْئًا، فَجَاءَتْ قَزْعَةٌ فَأُمْطِرْنَا، فَصَلَّى بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الطِّينِ وَالْمَاءِ عَلَى جَبْهَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَرْنَبَتِهِ تَصْدِيقَ رُؤْيَاهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Salama tells us about the significance and importance of Laylatul Qadr or the Night of Power. This night is one among the last ten nights in Ramadan and it is believed to be better than a thousand months. During this night Allah's blessings are showered upon His believers who spend their time worshipping Him with sincerity and devotion. It is said that on this night Allah's mercy descends upon His people more than any other night throughout the year. According to this hadith, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was informed by Gabriel that Laylatul Qadar will be in one among these odd nights but he forgot which one exactly it was going to be so he asked his followers to perform I’tikaf for all these ten days so they can find out which one it will be on their own. Later on during prayer time there was rainfall which confirmed his dream where he saw himself prostrating in mud and water as a sign from Allah that this particular day would be Laylatul Qadar.
