Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. In his second question, he says: The hadiths regarding the twenty-seventh night are known to all be authentic. If a person stands in prayer on this night and leaves the rest, has he attained the Night of Decree?
Answer:
There are no authentic hadiths that specify the Night of Decree as the twenty-seventh night. Rather, this is the independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) and investigation of the scholars. Otherwise, it is hidden in the nights of the month in general, and more specifically in the nights of the last ten days. As for specifying it, no one knows it except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The twenty-seventh night is one of the nights in which it is more likely that the Night of Decree is expected. Yes.
