حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنِ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ مَتَى هَاجَرْتَ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْيَمَنِ مُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقَدِمْنَا الْجُحْفَةَ، فَأَقْبَلَ رَاكِبٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ دَفَنَّا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُنْذُ خَمْسٍ. قُلْتُ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ شَيْئًا قَالَ نَعَمْ أَخْبَرَنِي بِلاَلٌ مُؤَذِّنُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ فِي السَّبْعِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ.
Ibn Abu Habib Narrated from:
Abu Al-Khair said, "As-Sanabih, I asked (me), 'When did you migrate?' I (i.e. Abu Al-Khair) said, 'We went out from Yemen as emigrants and arrived at Al-Juhfa, and there came a rider whom I asked about the news. The rider said: We buried the Prophet (ﷺ) five days ago." I asked (As-Sanabihi), 'Did you hear anything about the night of Qadr?' He replied, 'Bilal, the Mu'adh-dhin of the Prophet (ﷺ) informed me that it is on one of the seven nights of the last ten days (of Ramadan).

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4470
This hadith combines two reports in one narration: news of the Prophet’s burial and a question about Laylat al-Qadr. As-Sanabihi came from Yemen as an emigrant and reached Al-Juhfa, where a rider told him that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had been buried five days earlier. He was then asked whether he had heard anything about the Night of Qadr. He replied that Bilal, the Prophet’s mu’adhdhin, informed him that it is in one of the seven nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. For searches like Laylat al-Qadr last seven nights hadith, the key point is the timing mentioned through Bilal’s report.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration mentions the Prophet’s burial as recent news to the travelers.
- Bilal is reported to have informed about Laylat al-Qadr.
- The hadith places Laylat al-Qadr in one of the seven nights of the last ten days.
