Ibn Hibban narrated from Muadh ibn Jabal: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Allah looks at His creation in the night of mid-Sha’ban and He forgives all His creation except for an idolator (mushrik) or a one bent on hatred (mushahin).”
[Sahih ibn Hibban]
Â’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
“The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allâh be upon him) used to fast until we thought he would never break his fast, and not fast until we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allâh fasting for an entire month except in Ramadân, and I never saw him fast more than he did in Sha’bân.”
[Narrated by al-Bukhârî, Muslim]
