The hadith of ʿĀʾishah is a good and authentic hadith.

Her saying "yujāwir" means "he is observing iʿtikāf."

Most of the narrations from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, state that he said: "Seek it in the last ten [nights], in every odd [night]."

It has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, concerning the Night of Decree: that it is the twenty-first night, the twenty-third night, the twenty-fifth night, the twenty-seventh night, the twenty-ninth night, and the last night of Ramadan.

Al-Shāfiʿī said: It seems to me — and God knows best — that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to answer according to what he was asked about. It would be said to him: "We seek it on such-and-such a night," and he would say: "Seek it on such-and-such a night."

Al-Shāfiʿī said: The strongest narration in my view concerning it is the twenty-first night.

It has been narrated from Ubayy ibn Kaʿb that he used to swear that it is the twenty-seventh night, and he would say: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, informed us of its sign, so we counted and memorized.

It has been narrated from Abū Qilābah that he said: The Night of Decree moves among the last ten [nights].
