Sahih al-Bukhari 5820 (Book 78, Hadith 79)

Narrated ‘Ubada bin As-Samit: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) went out to inform the people about the (date of the Night of decree (Al-Qadr). There
happened a quarrel between two Muslim men. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I came out to inform you about the
Night of Al-Qadr, but as so-and-so and so-and-so quarrelled, so the news about it had been taken
away; and may be it was better for you. So look for it in the ninth, the seventh, or the fifth (of the last
ten days of Ramadan).

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِيُخْبِرَ النَّاسَ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، فَتَلاَحَى رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ خَرَجْتُ لأُخْبِرَكُمْ، فَتَلاَحَى فُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ وَإِنَّهَا رُفِعَتْ، وَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرًا لَكُمْ، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَالسَّابِعَةِ وَالْخَامِسَةِ ‏”‏‏.‏
