Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Five remain: (meaning) the night of the twenty-sixth?

Answer:
If the month is completed, all the nights are a place of conjecture; because in the other wording:
so seek it in the last ten nightالتمسوها في العشر الأواخر
Sunan Ibn Majah 1766Sahih (Darussalam)
, and in the other wording:
in the odd nights of the last ten daysفي الوتر من العشر الأواخر
Sahih al-Bukhari 2017
... Yes, it was designated for him (peace and blessings be upon him), then two men quarreled and it was raised, and its matter was hidden.
Q: If the month is completed, can it be said that the Night of Decree is in the nights of the month?
The Shaykh: It is expected in all the nights, and the odd-numbered nights are more emphatic, and the odd-numbered nights are known: the twenty-first, the twenty-third, the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh, and the twenty-ninth, and if the month is short, they all become odd-numbered.
Q: Does it have signs?
The Shaykh: As Ubayy ibn Ka'b said: Its morning has no rays; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed them of this.
