Sahih Muslim 1165a (Book 13, Hadith 267) #9906
Seeking Lailat-ul-Qadr in the Last Week of Ramadan

SUMMARY: Dreams of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) agreed that Lailat-ul-Qadr was in the last week of Ramadan, and so those who wish to seek it should do so during that time.

Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that some persons among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah were shown Lailat- ul-Qadr while sleeping in the last week (of Ramadan). Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: I see that your dreams agree regarding the last week; so he who wants to seek it should seek it in the last week (during the night).
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، - رضى الله عنهما - أَنَّ رِجَالاً، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ أُرُوا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْمَنَامِ فِي السَّبْعِ الأَوَاخِرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَرَى رُؤْيَاكُمْ قَدْ تَوَاطَأَتْ فِي السَّبْعِ الأَوَاخِرِ فَمَنْ كَانَ مُتَحَرِّيَهَا فَلْيَتَحَرَّهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الأَوَاخِرِ
