Narrated Abu Salama: Once I went to Abu- Said Al-Khudri and asked him, Wont you come with us to the date-palm trees to have a talk? So Abu Said went out and I asked him, Tell me what you heard from the Prophet about the Night of Qadr. Abu Said replied, Once Allahs Apostle performed Itikaf (seclusion) on the first ten days of the month of Ramadan and we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and said, The night you are looking for is ahead of you. So the Prophet performed the Itikaf in the middle (second) ten days of the month of Ramadan and we too performed Itikaf with him. Gabriel came to him and said, The night which you are looking for is ahead of you. In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan the Prophet delivered a sermon saying, Whoever has performed Itikaf with me should continue it. I have been shown the Night of Qadr, but have forgotten its date, but it is in the odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my dream that I was prostrating in mud and water. In those days the roof of the mosque was made of branches of date-palm trees. At that time the sky was clear and no cloud was visible, but suddenly a cloud came and it rained. The Prophet led us in the prayer and I saw the traces of mud on the forehead and on the nose of Allahs Apostle. So it was the confirmation of that dream. Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 12 :: Hadith 777
