Sahih al-Bukhari
Sahih al-Bukhari 49
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَرَجَ يُخْبِرُ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، فَتَلاَحَى رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ " إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ لأُخْبِرَكُمْ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، وَإِنَّهُ تَلاَحَى فُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ فَرُفِعَتْ وَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرًا لَكُمُ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ وَالتِّسْعِ وَالْخَمْسِ ".
Qutayba ibn Sa'id informed us. Ismail ibn Ja'far narrated to us, from Humayd, from Anas, who said: Ubada ibn al-Samit informed me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to tell them about Laylat al-Qadr. Two Muslim men argued, so he said: ‘I came out to tell you about Laylat al-Qadr, but so-and-so and so-and-so argued, and it was lifted. Perhaps that is better for you. Seek it on the seven, the nine, and the five.’
Translation notes
The English witness explains that the knowledge of the date was taken away and identifies the numbers as nights in the last ten days of Ramadan. Those explanations are not stated in this Arabic block.
فَرُفِعَتْ
The feminine pronoun refers to something understood from the context, possibly the knowledge or specification of Laylat al-Qadr; the Arabic does not state the noun here.
Should the translation retain the passive wording, or identify what was lifted in an explanatory note?
فِي السَّبْعِ وَالتِّسْعِ وَالْخَمْسِ
The source gives the numbers without specifying their counting reference in this passage.
Should the translation retain the bare numbered expressions, or can their reference be established from this source context?
