1766. It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "We observed I'tikâf with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ during the middle ten days of Ramadân. He said: 'I have been shown Lailatul-Qadr, then I was caused to forget it, so seek it in the last ten nights, on the odd-numbered nights.'" (Sahih)
1766 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوْسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، فِي الْوَتْرِ»

Although the scholars state some signs of the Night of Decree, the reward does not depend on whether a worshiper realizes that night or not. Therefore one should not be worried if he could not realize such and such sign.
