Question

Is this authentic?

On the night of 15 Sha’ban, offer twelve rak’ahs of Salah. In each rak’ah recite Surah Ikhlas thirty (30) times. You will see your abode in Jannah and be granted  intercession for ten (10) family members

 

Answer

The Muhaddithun have declared this Hadith a fabrication. The Hadith is not suitable to quote.

(Talkhisu Kitabul Mawdu’at, Hadith: 437, Tanzihush Shari’ah, vol. 2, pg. 93)

Note:

There are no specific types of Salah prescribed for the fifteenth (15th) of Sha’ban. One may engage in whatever form of ‘ibadah one is comfortable with.

(Refer: Lataiful Ma’arif, pg. 263 and Islamic Months of Mufti Taqi Uthmani, pg. 63 and pg. 74- 79)

See here.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

Note: Certain individuals have the ill-habit of misrepresenting the facts on the issue of the fifteenth night of Sha’ban. Whilst the narration in question is indeed baseless, this does not mean that the night of the fifteenth of Sha’ban itself has no basis too!

تلخيص كتاب الموضوعات:
(
٤٣٧) – حديث: «من صلى الله عليه وسلم ليلة نصف شعبان ثنتي عشرة ركعة، في كل ركعة ثلاثين مرة {قل هو الله} شفع في عشرة قد استوجبوا النار». وإسناده ظلمات إلى بقية.

تنزيه الشريعة المرفوعة عن الأخبار الشنيعة الموضوعة: (٢/ ٩٣)
[حديث] من صلى ليلة النصف من شعبان اثنتي عشرة ركعة، يقرأ في كل ركعة {قل هو الله أحد} ثلاثين مرة لم يخرج حتى يرى مقعده من الجنة ويشفع في عشرة من أهل بيته كلهم وجبت له النار (ابن الجوزي) من حديث أبي هريرة وفيه مجاهيل.

لطائف المعارف لابن رجب: (ص: ١٣٧)
فكذلك قيام ليلة النصف لم يثبت فيها شيء عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا عن أصحابه وثبت فيها عن طائفة من التابعين من أعيان فقهاء أهل الشام.
