Question

Is this statement authentically attributed to Imam Shafi’i (rahimahullah)?

Imam Shafi’i (rahimahullah) has stated: “I have heard that du’as are accepted by Almighty Allah on five nights:

1) The night of Jumu’ah,

2 and 3) The nights of the two ‘Eids,

4) The first night of Rajab,

5) The middle (15th) night of Sha’ban”

 

Answer

Yes, it is authentically attributed to Imam Shafi’i (rahimahullah). He has mentioned this in his book, Al Umm.

(Al Umm, vol. 2, pg. 485)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

الأم: (٢/ ٤٨٥)
(قال الشافعي): وبلغنا أنه كان يقال: إن الدعاء يستجاب في خمس ليال في ليلة الجمعة، وليلة الأضحى، وليلة الفطر، وأول ليلة من رجب، وليلة النصف من شعبان أخبرنا الربيع قال أخبرنا الشافعي قال أخبرنا إبراهيم بن محمد قال رأيت مشيخة من خيار أهل المدينة يظهرون على مسجد النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – ليلة العيد فيدعون ويذكرون الله حتى تمضي ساعة من الليل، وبلغنا أن ابن عمر كان يحيي ليلة جمع، وليلة جمع هي ليلة العيد لأن صبيحتها النحر (قال الشافعي): وأنا أستحب كل ما حكيت في هذه الليالي من غير أن يكون فرضا.
