Surely We revealed it on the grand night. And what will make you comprehend
what the grand night is? The grand night is better than a thousand months.
The angels and Gabriel descend in it by the permission of their Lord for
every affair, Peace! it is till the break of the morning.
Lailatul Qadr in the Last Seven Nights of Ramazan
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32 "Taraweeh",
Number 232]
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (Radi Allah Anhu) : Some men amongst the
companions of the Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) were shown
in their dreams that the night of Qadr was in the last seven nights of
Ramazan. Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said, "It seems
that all your dreams agree that (the Night of Qadr) is in the last seven
nights, and whoever wants to search for it should search in the last seven
nights of Ramazan."
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32 "Taraweeh", Number 233]
Narrated Abu Salama (Radi Allah Anhu) : I asked Abu Sa'id (Radi Allah Anhu)
about the Night of Qadr and he said, "We practised Itikaf in the middle
third month of Ramazan with Prophet Muhammad (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam).
In the morning of the 20th of Ramazan, the Prophet Muhammad
(sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) came to and addressed us and said, " I was
informed of the date of the Night of Qadr but I was caused to forget it, or I
forget, so search it in the last ten nights of month of Ramazan."

Nights of Ramazan
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32 "Taraweeh", Number 238]
Narrated 'Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Anha): The Allah's Messenger
(sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said:
"Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramazan on the
night when nine or seven or five nights remain out of the last ten nights of
the Ramazan."
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32 "Taraweeh", Number 239]
Narrated 'Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Anha) in this quotation: Allah's Messenger
(sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said:
"The Night of Qadr is in the last ten nights of the month of Ramazan
either on the first nine or in the last (remaining) seven nights of
Ramazan."
[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 3, Book 32 "Taraweeh", Number 241]
Narrated 'Aisha (Radi Allah Anhu) : With the start of the last ten days of
Ramazan, Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) used to tighten his
waist-belt (i.e. hard work) and used to offer Salat (Prayer) all the night,
and used to keep his family awake for the Salat (prayers).
[Sahih Muslim : Book 6 "Kitab Al-Sawm", Number 2632]
'A'isha (Radi Allah Anhu) Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) as
saying:
"Look for (and in the words of Waki, seek) Lailat-ul-Qadr in the last
ten nights of Ramadan."
[Sahih Muslim : Book 6 "Kitab Al-Sawm", Number 2633]
Zirr b. Habaish (Radi Allah Anhu) reported Ubayy b. Ka'b (Radi Allah Anhu)
took oath (without making any exception, i. e. without saying Innsha Allah)
that it was the twenty-seventh night. I said to him: Abu Mundhir, on what
ground do you say that? Thereupon he said: By the indication or by the sign
which the Messenger of Allah (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) gave us, and that
is that on that day (the sun) would rise without having any ray in it.
[Sahih Muslim : Book 6 "Kitab Al-Sawm", Number 2634]
Zirr b. Hubaish (Radi Allah Anhu) reported that Ubayy b. Ka'b (Radi Allah
Anhu) said about Lailat-ul-Qadr: By Allah, I know well about it. Shu'ba
said: To the best of my knowledge it was the twenty-seventh night for which
the Messenger of Allah (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) commanded us to stand
for prayer. Shu'ba doubted these words: That it was the night for which the
Messenger of Allah (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) commanded us to stand for
prayer. And (he further) said: This was narrated to me by a friend of mine
from him (the Holy Prophet).
[Sahih Muslim : Book 6 "Kitab Al-Sawm", Number 2635]
Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) reported: We were talking about
Lailat-ul-Qadr in the presence of the Messenger of Allah
(sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) and he said: "He who amongst you remembers
(the night) when the moon arose and it was like a piece of plate (at the fag
end of the month in a state of waning)."
