حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا کَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَقُومُوا لَيْلَهَا وَصُومُوا نَهَارَهَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَنْزِلُ فِيهَا لِغُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَی سَمَائِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ أَلَا مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ لِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ أَلَا مُسْتَرْزِقٌ فَأَرْزُقَهُ أَلَا مُبْتَلًی فَأُعَافِيَهُ أَلَا کَذَا أَلَا کَذَا حَتَّی يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1388
It was narrated thaat 'Ali bin Abu Talib said: The Messenger of Allaah P.B.U.H said:'When it is the night of the middle of Sha'ban. spend its night in prayer and observe a fast on that day. For Allah descends at sunset on that night to the lowest heaven and says: 'Is there .no one who will ask Me for forglveness, that I may forgive him? Is there no one who will ask Me for provision, that I may provide for him? Is there no one who is afflicted by trouble, that I may relieve him?' and so on, until dawn comes.''' (Maudu')
