Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِيُخْبِرَنَا بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، فَتَلاَحَى رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ ‏"‏ خَرَجْتُ لأُخْبِرَكُمْ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، فَتَلاَحَى فُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ، فَرُفِعَتْ، وَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرًا لَكُمْ، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَالسَّابِعَةِ وَالْخَامِسَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā related to us: Khālid ibn al-Ḥārith related to us: Ḥumayd related to us: Anas related to us, from ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit, who said: The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) came out to tell us about the Night of Decree. Two Muslim men quarreled, so he said: ‘I came out to tell you about the Night of Decree, but so-and-so and so-and-so quarreled, and its knowledge was taken away. Perhaps that is better for you. So seek it on the ninth, the seventh, and the fifth.’
