Shaʿbān

ذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ يَغْفُلُ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ رَجَبٍ وَرَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ
تُرْفَعُ فِيهِ الْأَعْمَالُ إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ
يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمundefined

“It is a month where people tend to neglect, between the months of Rajab
and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are raised to the Lord of
the worlds, and I like my deeds to be raised while I am fasting.”

(Sunan An-Nasa’i)

 

Significance of the 15th of Sha'ban

 

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَطَّلِعُ فِي لَيْلَةِ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَيَغْفِرُ لِجَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ إِلاَّ لِمُشْرِكٍ أَوْ مُشَاحِنٍundefined

“Verily, Allah gazes at His creation on the middle of Sha'ban and forgives all
His creations except for those who attribute partners to Allah (shirk) and those who have rancour in their hearts towards others.”undefined

(Sahih Ibn Hibban)
