793. Zirr said: "I said to Ubayy bin Ka'b: 'O Abū Al-Mundhir! How do you know that it is the night of the twenty-seventh?' He said: 'Rather, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ informed us that it is a night (after which) the sun rises without rays, so we counted and we remembered it. By Allāh! Ibn Mas'ūd learned that it is in Ramadān and that it is the night of the twenty-seventh, but he did not want to inform you lest you would depend on it.'" (Sahih)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
