his Itikaf. The Prophet said, "Whoever was in Itikaf with me should stay in Itikaf for the last ten days, for I was
informed (of the date) of the Night (of Qadr) but I have been caused to forget it. (In the dream) I saw myself
prostrating in mud and water in the morning of that night. So, look for it in the last ten nights and in the odd ones of

the door of Um-Salama, two Ansari men were passing by and they greeted Allah's Apostle. He told them: Do not run
away! And said, "She is (my wife) Safiya bint Huyai." Both of them said, "Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of any

a sermon on the 20th (of Ramadan) and said, 'I was informed (of the date) of the Night of Qadr (in my dream) but
had forgotten it. So, look for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. I saw myself
prostrating in mud and water on that night (as a sign of the Night of Qadr). So, whoever had been in Itikaf with
Allah's Apostle should return for it.' The people returned to the mosque (for Itikaf). There was no trace of clouds in
the sky. But all of a sudden a cloud came and it rained. Then the prayer was established (they stood for the prayer)
