Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Virtues of Night of Qadar
Narrated Abu Salama (RA): I asked Abu Sa`id, and he was a friend of mine, (about the Night of Qadr) and he said,
“We practiced I`tikaf (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle third of the month of Ramadan with the Prophet (peace be upon him). In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet (peace be upon him) came and addressed us and said, ‘I was informed of (the date of the Night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it; so search for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water (as a sign). So, whoever was in I`tikaf with me should return to it with me (for another 10-day’s 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 rainwater started leaking through the roof of the mosque which was made of date-palm leaf stalks. Then the prayer was established and I saw Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) prostrating in mud and water and I saw the traces of mud on his forehead.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 32, Hadith 3)
