Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ لِتِسْعٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ لِسَبْعٍ يَبْقَيْنَ أَوْ لِخَمْسٍ أَوْ لِثَلَاثٍ أَوْ آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ.

Waki' narrated to us: 'Uyayna narrated to us, from his father, from Abu Bakra, who said: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Seek it [the Night of Decree] in the last ten nights, on the night when nine remain, or seven remain, or five, or three, or the very last night."
