وَحَدَّثَنِي زِيَادٌ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ " إِنِّي أُرِيتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تَلاَحَى رَجُلاَنِ فَرُفِعَتْ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَالسَّابِعَةِ وَالْخَامِسَةِ " .
Translation
Ziyad related to me from Malik from Humayd at-Tawil that 'Anasibn Malik said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and granthim peace, came out to us in Ramadan and said, 'I was shown a certainnight in Ramadan and then two men abused each other and it was takenaway. Look for it on the ninth and the seventh and the fifth.' "
