حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ أَبُو بَکْرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ فَقَدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَخَرَجْتُ أَطْلُبُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالْبَقِيعِ رَافِعٌ رَأْسَهُ إِلَی السَّمَائِ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَکُنْتِ تَخَافِينَ أَنْ يَحِيفَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْکِ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَتْ قَدْ قُلْتُ وَمَا بِي ذَلِکَ وَلَکِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّکَ أَتَيْتَ بَعْضَ نِسَائِکَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَی يَنْزِلُ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ إِلَی السَّمَائِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَغْفِرُ لِأَکْثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ شَعَرِ غَنَمِ کَلْبٍ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1389
It was narrated that , Aishah said: "I missed the Prophet one night, so I went out looking for him. I found him at Al-Baqi", raising his head towards the sky. He said: '0 'Aishah, were you afraid that Allah and His Messenger would wrong you?'" She said: "I said: 'No, it is not that, but I thought that you had gone to one of your other wives.' He said: 'Allah descends on the night of the middle of Sha'ban to the lowest heaven, and He forgives more than the number of hairs on thesheep of Banu Kalb.''' (Da'if)
