Abdullah bin Abdullah Khabib says that during the time of Sayyiduna Umar Farooq, a man requested assistance from him, and he gave him something. That man said that once, in a gathering of the tribe of Juhaina, a companion of the Prophet (ﷺ), Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unais, was sitting with us. It was the month of Ramadan. We said to him: O Abu Yahya, have you heard anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding this blessed night? He replied: Yes, once we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the last part of this month. We asked the Prophet (ﷺ): O Messenger of Allah! When should we seek this blessed night? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Seek it tonight. It was the 23rd night. A man said upon this: O Messenger of Allah! In this way, it is the night before the eighth. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Not the first of the eight, but the first of the seven. Sometimes the month is complete.
