Magic of Seven

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

 - " ما استجار عبد من النار سبع مرات في يوم إلا قالت النار: يا رب إن عبدك
فلانا قد استجارك مني فأجره، ولا يسأل الله عبد الجنة في يوم سبع مرات إلا
قالت الجنة: يا رب! إن عبدك فلانا سألني فأدخله الجنة ".
أخرجه أبو يعلى في " مسنده " (4 / 1472 - 1473) والضياء أيضا في "

The narration: “Never does a slave ask (Allaah) for paradise seven times except that paradise would say: ‘O Allaah, Your slave so and so asked You for me, so admit him into paradise.’”(As-Saheehah by Al-Albaani (2506))

Abdhullah Ibn Abbas Radhiyallahu Anhu said to Umar Radhiyallahu Anhu:
"Oh Commander of the Faithful! Verily ALLAH, the most High is Witr and he loves Wits; 
He made the days of the week seven,
He created mankind from  seven,
He created our sustenance from sever,
He created about us seven heavens,
He created below us seven earths,
He gave us the seven most oft repeated Verses,
In His Book, He forbade marriage to seven relatives,
He divided inheritance in His book among seven,
we prostrate on seven points on our bodies,
the Messenger of ALLAH sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam circumambulated the Ka'bah seven times,
he performed seven circuits between As-Safa and Al-Marwah and 
he stoned the Jamarath seven times. 

In order to fulfill the Command of ALLAH, as written in his book and He showed it.


Question: Some of the Muslims have taken the 27th night of Ramadhaan as Laylatul-Qadar. Is their any basis for this specification and is there any evidence for this?



Response: Yes, there is basis for this specification and that is that the night of the 27th of Ramadhaan is mentioned in the hadeeth, in Saheeh Muslim, on the authority of ‘Ubayy Ibn Ka’b (radhi-yAllaahu ‘anhu).

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، - قَالَ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، - عَنْ عَبْدَةَ، وَعَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، سَمِعَا زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ، يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ أُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ - رضى الله عنه - فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَخَاكَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَقُمِ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ لاَ يَتَّكِلَ النَّاسُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ وَأَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ حَلَفَ لاَ يَسْتَثْنِي أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَقُلْتُ بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ بِالْعَلاَمَةِ أَوْ بِالآيَةِ الَّتِي أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لاَ شُعَاعَ لَهَا ‏.

Zirr b. Habaish reported:
I thu asked Ubayy b. Ka'b (Allah be pleased with him): Your brother (in faith) Ibn Mas'ud says: He who stands (for the night prayer) throughout the year would find Lailat-ul-Qadr, whereupon he said: May Allah have mercy upon him; (he said these words) with the intention that people might not rely only (on one night), whereas he knew that it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) is in the month of Ramadan and it is the twenty-seventh night. He then took oath (without making any exception, i. e. without saying In sha Allah) that it was the twenty-seventh night. I said to him: Abu Mundhir, on what ground do you say that? Thereupon he said: By the indication or by the sign which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave us, and that is that on that day (the sun) would rise without having any ray in it.
