Sure, there are no sahih ahadith proving that it even took place on the night of the 27th, but great 'ulama have favoured that view - it could be wrong, it could be right, just like most matters. From these scholars were Imam an-Nawawi ash-Shafi'i and one of the greatest Huffadh of Hadith, the great Hanbali author of 'Umdat al-Ahkam, al-Imam 'Abd al-Ghani al-Maqdisi, radhiy Allahu 'anhuma. Other scholars, differed, no doubt, but it need not be an issue of contention, and certainly not an oppurtunity to target scholars and their understanding of ahadith.was-salam

The question is not which date precisely did the event take place, rather whether reports concerning its celebration are true or not, that is the issue of contention.
It is well known Ihya book does not contain 100% sahih narrations, as acknowledged by Mufti Desai here : http://www28.brinkster.com/mushrf/03...icate_some.htm
