وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يُغْفَرُ لِأُمَّتِهِ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ» . قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهِيَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا وَلَكِنَّ الْعَامِلَ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى أجره إِذا قضى عمله» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
English translation
Abu Huraira said that when the Prophet (ﷺ) stated that his people would be granted forgiveness on the last night in Ramadan and was asked whether it was <i>Lailat al-qadr</i>, he replied, “No, but a workman is paid his full wages only when he has finished his work.” Ahmad transmitted it.
