The one who fasts has two occasions of joy; one when he breaks the fast he is glad with the breaking of the fast and one when he meets his Lord he is glad with his fast. SahihMuslim-017-001-22342
10. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sulaiman Taimi with the same chain of transmitters and; at the end; it was said that the first Adhan was meant to awaken those who were in slumber amongst them and in order to make them turn who stand in prayer among them towards food at the commencement of the fast. Jarir one of the narrators said that the Messenger ﷺ did not say like this but he said like it true dawn that the streaks of true dawn are horizontal and not vertical. SahihMuslim-017-001-22179

He said: Yes; and added we were observing itikaf with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the middle ten days of Ramadan; and came out on the morning of the twentieth and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and said: I was shown Lailat AlQadr; but I forgot the exact night or I was caused to forget it; so seek it in the last ten odd nights ; and I was shown that I was prostrating in water and clay. So he who wanted to observe itikaf with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ should return to the place of itikaf. He Abu Saeed AlKhudri said: And we returned and did not find any patch of cloud in the sky. Then the cloud gathered and there was so heavy a downpour that the roof of the mosque which was made of the branches of date-palms began to drip.

Then he addressed the people on the night he came back to his residence and commanded them as Allah desired him to command and then said: I used to devote myself observe itikaf during these ten nights. Then I started devoting myself in the last ten nights. And he who desires to observe itikaf along with me should spend the night at his place of itikaf. And I saw this night Lailat AlQadr but I forgot it the exact night ; so seek it;In the last ten nights on odd numbers. I saw the glimpses of that dream that I was prostrating in water and mud. Abu Saeed AlKhudri said: It rained on the twenty-first night and the water dripped from the roof of the mosque at the place where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed prayer.

He then put his head out and talked with people and they came near him; and he the Holy Prophet said: I observed itikaf in the first ten nights and days in order to seek that night Lailat AlQadr. I then observed itikaf in the middle ten days. Then an angel was sent to me and I was told that this night is among the last ten nights. He who among you likes to observe itikaf should do so; and the people observed it along with him; and he the Holy Prophet said: That Lailat AlQadr was shown to me on an odd night and I saw in the dream that I was prostrating in the morning in clay and water. So in the morning of the twenty-first night when he the Holy Prophet got up for dawn prayer. there was a rainfall and the mosque dripped; and I saw clay and water.
