Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26897

Ahmad bin Mani’ told us, Yazid bin Harun told us, Al-Hajjaj bin Artat told us, on the authority of Yahya bin Abi Kathir, on the authority of Urwa, On the authority of Aisha, she said: I missed the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, one night, and I went out and found him at Al-Baqi’. He said, “Were you afraid that God would be unjust to you?” And His Messenger, “I said, O Messenger of God, I thought you had intercourse with some of your wives.” He said, “Indeed, God Almighty descends on the night of midnight.” From Sha`ban to the lowest heaven, He will forgive more than the number of hairs on the sheep of a dog.” And on the authority of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq. Abu Al-Siddiq said. Jesus is the hadith of Aisha. We do not know him except from this side of the hadith of al-Hajjaj. And I heard Muhammad weakening this hadith, and Yahya ibn Abu Kathir did not hear from Urwa, and Al-Hajjaj bin Artat did not hear from Yahya bin Abi Kathir.
