Sahih Muslim 1166 (Book 13, Hadith 274) #9913
Seeking Lailat-ul-Qadr in the Last Week of Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was shown Lailat-ul-Qadr, but he forgot it. He advised to seek it in the last week of Ramadan.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger as saying: I was shown Lailat-ul-Qadr; then some members of my family awoke me up, then I was caused to forget it. So seek it in the last week. Harmala said: (The Prophet did not say:" I was made to forget," but he stated):" But I forgot it".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، - رضى الله عنه - أَنَّاللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ثُمَّ أَيْقَظَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِي فَنُسِّيتُهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْغَوَابِرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ حَرْمَلَةُ ‏"‏ فَنَسِيتُهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith is about Prophet Muhammad's experience with Laylat al Qadr which is a night during the last ten days of Ramadan that is considered to be better than a thousand months. It is believed that on this night Allah reveals his blessings and mercy upon mankind and angels descend from heaven to earth. In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad was shown Laylat al Qadr but then he forgot it due to being woken up by some members of his family. He then advised people to seek it in the last week of Ramadan so they can benefit from its blessings and mercy. This hadith teaches us that we should take advantage of every opportunity we get as we never know when our luck might run out or when an opportunity might pass us by without us even realizing it. We should also strive for spiritual growth during this blessed month and make sure not to miss out on any chance for reward or forgiveness from Allah SWT.
