Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].
[Qur'aan Suurah al-Dukhaan Verse No. 3]
Imaam al-Tabari says:
The scholars of ta'wiil have differed in regards to this night. A group has said it is lailah al-Qadr in Ramadaan. Others have said it is the night of the 15th of Sha'baan.
He then says:
The correct opinion is that of the ones who say that this refers to lailah al-Qadr of Ramadaan.[1]
Ibn al-'arabi says:
The majority of scholars have said that the night referred to in this Verse is lailah al-Qadr (in Ramadaan). Some of them have said it refers to the night of the 15th of Sha'baan. And this is baatil because Allaah said in His Definitive Truthful Book:
"...The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an..." [Qur'aan Suurah al-Baqarah Portion of Verse 185]
This is evidence to the fact that the miiqaat of its revelation was Ramadaan [and] then He informed of the period of time in regards to the night here in His saying:
"...during a blessed night..."
As for the one who thinks it is other than this night (i.e. lailah al-Qadr in Ramadaan) then he has invented a great lie upon Allaah. There is not a single hadiith in regards to the night of the 15th of Sha'baan upon which one can rely. [There is not a single authentic hadiith] in regards to its virtue or the abrogation of the appointed times of death so do not give any of them (i.e. the weak narrations reported in regards to it) any consideration.[2]
