Which night is highly probable to be laylatul qadr

THE TWENTY-SEVENTH NIGHT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE TO BE LAYLATUL-QADR.

Ibn 'Umar (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) said: 'The companions of the Prophet ﷺ used to tell him their dreams that (Laylatul-Qadr) was on the 27th of the month of Ramadān.'

The Prophet ﷺ said, "I see that your dreams agree on the last ten nights of Ramadān and so whoever is in search of it should seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadān."

{al-Bukhari #1156}

Imām al-Albānī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"It is on the twenty-seventh night of Ramadān according to the strongest opinion. A majority of the ahādīth comply with this, including the hadīth of Zurr Ibn Hubaysh who said:

"I heard Ubay Bin Ka’ab (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) say when it was said to him that ‘Abdullāh Ibn Mas’ood (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: "Whoever performs the night prayer (every night) throughout the year will achieve the Night of Al-Qadr."

He (Ubay Bin Ka’ab) said: "May ALLĀH have mercy on him, his intention was that the people not (grow lazy) and depend solely (on just one night). By the One of whom there is no deity worthy of worship beside HIM, it is indeed in Ramadān. And by ALLĀH I know on which night it is. It is on the night that ALLĀH’s Messenger ﷺ commanded us to perform the Night Prayer. It is on the twenty-seventh night. Its sign is that the sun rises on its following morning bright with no rays."

{Muslim #762}

In one report this is raised to being a saying of the Prophet ﷺ.

{Sahih Abī Dawūd #1378}

📚Qiyām Ramadān  || Page 18-19

Shaikhul-Islām Ibn Taimiyyah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"...And it occurs more frequently in the last seven; and it occurs most frequently on the twenty-seventh, just as Ubayy ibn Kab used to swear an oath that it was the twenty-seventh night. So it was said to him: "How have you come to know that?" So he replied: "On account of the sign which ALLĀH's Messenger ﷺ informed us of. He informed us that the sun rises on the morning following it being like a brass dish, having no rays."

{Muslim #762}

"So this sign which Ubayy ibn Kab reported from the Prophet ﷺ is from the most well known signs occurring in hadeeth; and it is related regarding its signs that it is a night that is "bright, shining"; and it is calm; it is not very hot, nor very cold. It may occur that ALLĀH reveals it to some of the people in a dream, or whilst awake, such that he sees its light, or he sees one who says to him: "This is Laylatul-Qadr"; or he may open his heart to witnessing such things that make the affair clear to him, and ALLĀH -the Most High- knows best."
