IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST BENEFICENT, THE MOST MERCIFUL
This is story which proves the vastness of his understanding and his ability to exercise logic in matters which are confusing to the people:
It is reported on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas ra that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab rha st with some of the Companions of the Messenger of ALLAH saw from among the Muhajiruun and they mentioned Lailatul-Qadr. Some of them spoke of what they had heard about it and the people disagreed regarding it.
'Umar rha said: "What ails you, Ibn 'Abbas that you remain silent and do not speak? Speak and do not let your youthfulness deter you".
Ibn 'Abbas ra said: "Oh, Commander of the Faithful! Verily, ALLAH, the Most high is Witr (an odd number-in the case of ALLAH, One), and He loves Witr.
He made the days of the week seven.
He created mankind from seven.
He created our sustenance from seven.
He created above us seven heavens
He created below us seven earths
He gave us the seven oft-repeated Verses. (The seven oft-repeated Verses: Surat Al-Fatihah)
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 saw circumambulated the Ka'abah seven times.
The Prophet performed seven circuits between As-Safa and Al-Marwah.
The Prophet stoned the Jamarat seven times.
In order to fulfill the Command of ALLAH, as written in His Book and He showed it- Lailatul-Qadr during the last seven nights of Ramadan and ALLAH knows better."
'Umar rha was impressed and he said: "No one has confirmed what I heard from the Messenger of ALLAH saw except this boy, whose skull bones have not yet joined together. Verily, the Messenger of ALLAH saw said: "Look for it during, the last ten nights." Oh these people! Who can reply to me in this as Ibn 'Abbas has done?".
