Bismillah,
Assalamu'alikum Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Some Excerpts from the above book: :
Hadith #1:
Imam Bayhaqi narrated in the Shu'ab, and Al Kharaiti in Masaw'e Al Akhlaq, through Marhoom bin Abdul Aziz through Dawud bin Abdur Rahman through Hisham bin Hassan, through al Hasan (Al Basri), through Uthman bin abil-Aas, that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, said:
(During the night of the middle of Sha'baan, a caller will call: is there anyone who is asking for forgiveness so I forgive? Is there anyone who is asking, so I grant?. Anyone who asks will be granted, except an adulterer and a Mushrik).
This hadith is authentic and all its narrators are thiqaat (trustworthy).
Hadith #2
Imam Tabarani in his Mu'jam Kabir and Awsat, Ibn Hibban in his Saheeh, Bayhaqi in the Shu'ab, and others narrated from different ways to Hisham bin Khaled Al Azraq, he said were were told by Abu Khulayd Utbah bin Hammad, through Al awza'iy andAbdur-Rahman bin Thabet bin Thawban, through his father, through Mak'hool, through Malek bin Yukhamer, through Muath bin Jabal (radiya'Allahu anhu) said that The Prophet of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, said:
(Allah shows (His Mercies) to His creation in the night of the middle of Sha'baan. He forgives all His creation except a Mushrek or a hateful person).
This Hadith is authentic/Saheeh. Hafeth Ibn Hajar said in Muj'ama' Az-Zawa'ed 85 after mentioning this Hadith: "Al Tabarani narrated it in Al Kabir and Al Awsat, and the narrators of both chains are trustworthy".
Hadith #3
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad amongst others, through Hasan bin Musa, he said we were told by Ibn Lahi'ah, he said we were told by Huyayy bin Abdullah Al Ma'afiri, through Abi Abdir-Rahman Al Hbli, through Abdullah bin Amru, that Rasoolul'Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam, said:
(Allah Azzawajall shows (His Mercies) to His creation on the night of the middle of Sha'baan. He forgives (all) His creation except for two; a Hateful person, and a murderer"
Hadith #4
Al Hareth bin Abi Usama narrated in his Musnad, with an authentic Isnaad saying: we were told by Abdullah bin Awn, he said we were told by Abu Ubaydah, he sad were told by Abdullah, he said we were told by Khaled bin Ma'dan, through Kathir bin Murrah, he said: The Prophet of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa alihi wasallam, said:
{Your Lord shows (His Mercies) the night of the middle of Sha'baan onto His creation. He forgives them all, except a Mushrek or a Hateful person}.
This Hadith is Mursal. But the Isnaad to Kathir is Sahih (Authentic). Kathir is a great Tabi'I (follower of Sahabi). He in fact met more than 70 Sahaba of Badr, heard from Muath bin Jabal, and Al Marwazi counted him among the Sahaba, which is incorrect. He is, however, a big Tabi'i.
From this narration, you see at least the understanding the of pious Tabi'in and their students.
Further proofs:
Imam Al-Hafeth Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali said in his famous book "Lataaef Al Ma'aref, page 195:
(The Tabi'ieen –followers of the Sahaba- from the people of Shaam like Khalid Ben Ma'daan, Mak'hool, Lokman bin Amer and others, used to glorify the night of the middle of Sha'baan, and strive in it with worship. From them (the Tabi'ieen) people took the glorification and virtues of the middle of Sha'baan).
From the above evidences, the texts clearly point to the specific honour of the night of the middle of Sha'baan, indicating that it is a special night, therefore one should be relentless in seeking Allah Ta'ala's forgiveness and generosity during this night specifically.
What Ibadaat to do?
Ghunya li Talibi Tariq al Haqq (Sufficient Provision for Seekers of the path of truth) Shaykh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani volume 3 page 69 translated by Muthar Holland.
Salat al Khair consists of 100 rakah (cycles of 2) in which "Qul hwallahu Ahad is recited 10 times in each rakah bringing the total to 1,000 in total. It was performed in congregation by our righteous predecessors. It is reported by Al Hasan al Basri (May Allah have mercy on him): Thirty of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) related to me that Allah will look seventy times up to the one who performs this prayer on this night, and with each glance he will fulfill seventy of that person's needs, the least of them being forgiveness."
