Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قُمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا أَحْسَبُ مَا تَطْلُبُونَ إِلَّا وَرَاءَكُمْ ثُمَّ قُمْنَا مَعَهُ لَيْلَةَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا أُحْسَبُ مَا تَطْلُبُونَ إِلَّا وَرَاءَكُمْ فَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ وَسَكَتَ.
English Translation
Zayd ibn al-Hubab told us: Mu'awiya ibn Salih told us: Abu al-Zahiriyya told me, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr, from Abu Dharr, who said: We stood in prayer with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the night of the twenty-third of Ramadan, until the first third of the night, then he said: "I do not think that what you are seeking is anything but still ahead of you." Then we stood with him on the night of the twenty-fifth, until the middle of the night, then he said: "I do not think that what you are seeking is anything but still ahead of you." So we stood with him on the night of the twenty-seventh until dawn, and he remained silent.
