15 Shaban

15th day of Shaโ€˜bฤn

On the 15th of Shaโ€˜bฤn, the twelfth Imam al-Mahdi, the Imam of our Time (Sahib al-Zaman), was born - may Almighty Allahโ€™s blessings be upon him and his immaculate ancestors. It is recommended to visit him at each time and place and to pray Almighty Allah for hastening in his advent. His Ziyarah at the Vault (sirdab) in Samarraโ€™ is more favorable. Beyond any dispute, Imam al-Mahdi (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) shall appear, overcome, and fill the earth with justice and equality just as it would be filled with injustice and oppression.

THE RITES OF THE REST OF Shaโ€˜bฤn

Imam al-Rida (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) is reported as saying: If one observes fasting on the last three days of Shaโ€˜bฤn and connects it with the obligatory fasting of Ramaแธฤn, Almighty Allah will decide for him as having observed fasting for two consecutive months.

Abuโ€™l-Salt al-Harawi has narrated that when he visited Imam al-Rida (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) on the last Friday of Shaโ€™ban, the Imam said to him:

Abuโ€™l-Salt, the days of Shaโ€˜bฤn have almost passed. This is the last Friday. You should thus settle what you have missed in this month by working harder in the rest of it. You may supplicate God, implore for His forgiveness, recite the Holy Qurโ€™an, and repent to Him from your sins so that you receive the month of Ramaแธฤn with pure sincerity to Him. You must fulfil all the trusts that you are liable to settle, do not bear malice against any of your brethren-in-faith, you must give up any sin that you commit. Fear Almighty Allah and trust in Him in secret and openly, for โ€˜If anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose. Verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion. 65/3โ€™
In the rest days of Shaโ€˜bฤn, you may repeat the following supplication frequently for Almighty Allah rescues many people from hellfire on account of the sanctity of this month:
ุงูŽู„ู„ู‘ูฐู‡ูู…ู‘ูŽ ุงูู†ู’ ู„ูŽู…ู’ ุชูŽูƒูู†ู’ ุบูŽููŽุฑู’ุชูŽ ู„ูŽู†ูŽุง ูููŠู…ูŽุง ู…ูŽุถูŽู‰ ู…ูู†ู’ ุดูŽุนู’ุจูŽุงู†ูŽ ููŽุงุบู’ููุฑู’ ู„ูŽู†ูŽุง ูููŠู…ูŽุง ุจูŽู‚ููŠูŽ ู…ูู†ู’ู‡ู

15th night of Shaโ€˜bฤn

This night is extraordinarily honorable. Imam Jaโ€™far al-Sadiq (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) has narrated that when Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) was asked about the merits of the 15th night of Shaโ€™ban, he answered, โ€œIt is the most favorable night after the Qadr Night. On this night, Almighty Allah bestows upon His servants with His favors and grants them His pardon out of His conferral of benefits to them. Therefore, you should exert all efforts to seek nearness to Him on this night, because He - the Majestic and Honorable - has decided not to reject any asker as long as he does not ask for an act of disobedience to Him. Almighty Allah has chosen this night for us, the Ahl al-Bayt, just as He has chosen the Qadr Night for our Prophet - peace be upon him and his Household. You should thus pray and thank Him diligently.โ€

One of the marvelous blessings of this night is that it is the birth night of the Imam of our Time, Imam al-Mahdi (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) - may Allah accept our souls as ransoms for him. He was born in Surra-man-raโ€™a (currently Samarraโ€™) at the hour before daybreak in 255 AH. This incident increases the merits of this honorable night.

However, narrations have carried many recommended rites to be carried out on this night:

Ghusl
It is highly recommended to bathe (take ghusl) on this night, for this act decreases the punishment for oneโ€™s sins.
Spend night in worship
It is highly recommended to imitate Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn Zayn al-โ€™Abidin (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) who used to spend this whole night with acts of worship, prayers, supplications, invocations, and implorations for forgiveness. A tradition confirms that as for one who spends this whole night with acts of worship, his heart will not die when other hearts die.
Ziyarah of Imam al-Husain (as)
It is highly recommended to visit the tomb of Imam al-Husayn (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…). In fact, this is the most favorable act on this night. It also brings about forgiveness of oneโ€™s sins. If you desire that 124,000 Prophets shake hands with you, you may visit the holy tomb of Imam al-Husayn (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) on this night. The least act of Ziyarah is to go up an elevated place, look to the right and the left, raise the head towards the heavens, and say these statements:
ุงูŽู„ุณู‘ูŽู„ุงูŽู…ู ุนูŽู„ูŽูŠู’ูƒูŽ ูŠูŽุง ุงูŽุจูŽุง ุนูŽุจู’ุฏู ุงู„ู„ู‘ูฐู‡ู ุงูŽู„ุณู‘ูŽู„ุงูŽู…ู ุนูŽู„ูŽูŠู’ูƒูŽ ูˆูŽ ุฑูŽุญู’ู…ูŽุฉู ุงู„ู„ู‘ูฐู‡ู ูˆูŽ ุจูŽุฑูŽูƒูŽุงุชูู‡ู
One who performs this form of Ziyarah is expected to get the reward of one Hajj and one โ€˜Umrah. In the section of Ziyarat, we will mention further details about the peculiar merits of Ziyarah of this night.
Supplication 1
It is recommended to say the following supplication, which stands for a form of Ziyarah for Imam al-Mahdi(ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…). This supplication has been mentioned by both Sayyid Ibn Tawus and Shaykh al-Tusi:

Supplication 5
Shaykh al-Tusi, in Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has narrated a tradition about the merits of the night of mid-Shaโ€™ban entailing that Abu-Yahya asked Imam Jaโ€™far al-Sadiq(ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) about the best of supplications to be said at this night. The Imam (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) instructed him, saying:

It is worth mentioning that this supplication is advisably recite immediately after the accomplishment of the Shafโ€™ Prayer at the last hours of night.
Supplication 7
It is recommended to recite the supplication narrated by Shaykh al-Tusi and Sayyid Ibn Tawus after each two units of the Night Prayer (Salat al-Layl), the Shafโ€™ Prayer, and the Witr Prayer.
Supplication 8
It is recommended to do the prostrations and say the supplications that are reported from the Holy Prophet (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุนู„ู‰ ุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…). One of these is that Shaykh al-Tusi has narrated on the authority of Hammad ibn โ€˜Isa on the authority of Aban ibn Taghlib on the authority of Imam Jaโ€™far al-Sadiq(ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) recounted the following:

It was the fifteenth night of Shaโ€™ban when the Holy Prophet (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุนู„ู‰ ุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…) was with โ€˜Aโ€™ishah, his wife. At midnight, the Holy Prophet (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุนู„ู‰ ุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…) left the bed. When โ€˜Aโ€™ishah woke up and could not find him, she felt jealous and thought that he had joined one of his other wives. She therefore left her bed and put on her cloak, which was made of neither silk, nor linen, nor cotton; rather, it was made of camel hair. In any event, โ€˜Aโ€™ishah searched for the Holy Prophet (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุนู„ู‰ ุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…) in all of the rooms of his other wives but she found him prostrating himself on the ground like a thrown dress. As she approached, she heard him saying:

The Holy Prophet (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุนู„ู‰ ุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…) then raised his head and then prostrated again, saying:

The Holy Prophet (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุนู„ู‰ ุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…) then put his face to the ground and said:

When the Holy Prophet (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุนู„ู‰ ุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…) accomplished these acts of worship and directed towards his bed, โ€˜Aโ€™ishah ran before him until she reached the bed before he did. When he heard her speedy breathes, the Holy Prophet (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุนู„ู‰ ุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…) wondered. He then said, โ€œDo you know what this night is? This is the mid-Shaโ€™ban night. At this night, shares of provisions are distributed, lifetimes are decided, and the pilgrims are appointed. Verily, Almighty Allah, at this night, forgives as many of His creatures as the hairs of the horses of Kalb Tribe. Almighty Allah also orders angels to descend to the earth, to Makkah, at this night.
Salat Jafar at-Tayyar
It is recommended to offer the famous Jaโ€™far al-Tayyarโ€™s Prayer (Salat Jaโ€™far) as is narrated by Shaykh al-Tusi from Imam al-Rida(ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…).
Salat
It is recommended to offer the prayers that are dedicated to this night. In fact, these prayers are many. One of them is what is reported by Abu-Yahya al-Sanโ€™ani, as well as other thirty trustworthy reporters, from Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) and Imam Jaโ€™far al-Sadiq (ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…) as follows:

At the mid-Shaโ€™ban night, you may offer a four unit prayer in each unit of which you may recite Surah al-Fatehah once and Surah al-Tawแธฅฤซd one hundred times. After accomplishment, you may say the following supplication:

It is worth mentioning that traditions have decided a great reward for one who offers a hundred unit prayer on this night; in each unit, Surah al-Fatehah is recited once and Surah al-Tawแธฅฤซd ten times.

It has been previously mentioned, within the rites of Rajab, that it is recommended to offer a prayer comprising of six rakat in each of which Surahs al-Fฤtiแธฅah, Yasin, al-Mulk, and al-Tawแธฅฤซd are recited.
