2014. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever observed Ṣaum (fast) in the month of Ramaḍān with sincere faith (i.e., belief) and hoping for a reward from Allāh, then all his past sins will be forgiven, and whoever stood for the Ṣalāt (prayers) in the night of Qadr with sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allāh, then all his past sins will be forgiven."

2015. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: Some men amongst the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were shown in their dreams that the night of Qadr was in the last seven nights of Ramaḍān. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "It seems that all your dreams agree that (the night of Qadr) is in the last seven nights, and whoever wants to search for it (i.e., the night of Qadr) should search in the last seven (nights of Ramaḍān)."

Arabic text

2015 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أُرُوا لَيْلَةَ القَدْرِ فِي المَنَامِ فِي السَّبْعِ الأَوَاخِرِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَرَى رُؤْيَاكُمْ قَدْ تَوَاطَأَتْ فِي السَّبْعِ الأَوَاخِرِ، فَمَنْ كَانَ مُتَحَرِّيهَا فَلْيَتَحَرَّهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الأَوَاخِرِ»

English translation

2016. Narrated Abū Salama: I asked Abū Sa'īd رضي الله عنه - and he was a friend of mine - (about the night of Qadr) and he said, "We practised I'tikāf (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle third of the month of Ramaḍān with the Prophet ﷺ. In the morning of the 20th of Ramaḍān, the Prophet ﷺ came and addressed us and said, 'I was informed of (the date of the night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it (or I forgot); so, search for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramaḍān. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water (as a sign). So, whoever was in I'tikāf with me should return to it (for another 10 days period)', and we returned. At that time there was no sign of clouds in the sky, but suddenly a cloud came and it rained till rain-water started leaking through the roof of the mosque which was made of date-palm leaf stalks. Then the Ṣalāt (prayer) was established and I saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ prostrating in mud and water and I saw the traces of mud on his forehead."

Arabic text

2016 - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، وَكَانَ لِي صَدِيقًا فَقَالَ: اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ العَشْرَ الأَوْسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَخَرَجَ صَبِيحَةَ عِشْرِينَ فَخَطَبَنَا، وَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ القَدْرِ، ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا - أَوْ نُسِّيتُهَا - فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي العَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ فِي الوَتْرِ، وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ، فَمَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلْيَرْجِعْ»، فَرَجَعْنَا وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً، فَجَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَمَطَرَتْ حَتَّى سَالَ سَقْفُ المَسْجِدِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ جَرِيدِ النَّخْلِ، وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْجُدُ فِي المَاءِ وَالطِّينِ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الطِّينِ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ

English translation

2018. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to practise I'tikāf (in the mosque) in the middle third of Ramaḍān, and after passing the twenty nights he used to go back to his house on the 21st, and the people who were in I'tikāf with him also used to go back to their houses. Once in Ramaḍān, in which he practised I'tikāf, he established the night Ṣalāt (prayers) at the night in which he used to return home, and then he addressed the people and ordered them whatever Allāh wished him to order and said, "I used to practise I'tikāf for these ten days (i.e., the middle 1/3rd) but now I intend to stay in I'tikāf for the last ten days (of the month); so whoever was in I'tikāf with me should stay at his place of seclusion. Verily, I have been shown (the date of) this night (of Qadr) but I have forgotten it. So, search for it in the odd nights of the last ten days (of this month). I also saw myself (in the dream) prostrating in mud and water." On the night of the 21st (of Ramaḍān), the sky was overcast with clouds and it rained, and the rain-water started leaking through the roof of the mosque at the Muṣalla (praying place) of the Prophet ﷺ. I saw with my own eyes the Prophet ﷺ at the completion of the morning Ṣalāt leaving with his face covered with mud and water. [See H.No.2027].
