 15 th Night of Sha`ban

Merits of the night of 15 th Sha’ban:

Imam Ja`far al-¯adiq (a.s) has narrated that when Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s)
was asked about the merits of the fifteenth night of Sha`ban, he answered, “It is the
most favorable night after the Qadr Night. At this night, Allah (swt) bestows upon
His servants with His favors and grants them His pardon.
Therefore, you should exert all efforts for seeking nearness to Allah (swt) at this
night, because He—Majestic and Honorable is He—has decided not to reject and
beggar so long as an act of disobedience is asked.
Allah (swt) has chosen this night for us, the Ahl al-Bayt, in the same way as He has
chosen the Qadr Night for our Prophet—peace be upon him and his Family. You
should thus pray Allah (swt) and thank Him diligently.”
The Holy Prophet (saws) has said that during the night of 15th Sha’ban, Allah (swt)
takes decisions in the matters of sustenance, life and death and welfare of the
people.
Also, at the dawn of this night, the 12th Imam, Imam Mohammed Mahdi (atfs) was
born in Samarrah in the year 255 AH.

It is highly recommended to spend this whole night with acts of worship, prayers,
supplications, invocations and prayers for forgiveness. A °ad¢th has confirmed that
as for one who spends this whole night with acts of worship, his heart will not die
when other hearts die.
The first thing that that Salik (the Wayfarer on the path towards Allah, Glorified
and Exalted is He) must perform on this night is that he must remove the material
pleasures and enjoyments of this world from in front of his eyes (and from his
heart) and in order to make the most of this special night and ensure that all of his
actions are performed properly.
He must think to himself that tonight is his last night on this Earth (meaning that
tomorrow he shall die) and thus, he will no longer have the opportunity to perform
any more good deeds and that tomorrow the Day of Judgment will take place.
Recommneded Acts for the Night of 15 th Sha’ban:

Take Ghusl (Bath) with the thought of washing away sins & as if it ’s your
last Ghusl

It is recommended to mention Allah (swt) by the following invocation

one hundred times so that one’s past acts of disobedience to Allah (swt)
will be forgiven and one’s worldly and religious needs will be settled:
All glory be to Allah; ،ِ‫سُبْحَانَ ال ّله‬
all praise be to Allah; ،ِ‫وَالْحَمْدُ ِل ّله‬
there is no god save
Allah;
،ُ‫وَال إلهَ إالَّ ال ّله‬
Allah is the Greatest; ،ُ‫وَال ّلهُ أَكْبَر‬

Recite 100 times 'Astaghfirullah ' with attention to seeking forgiveness.

 Ziyarah of Imam Husain for the night of 15 th Sha`ban

In his book of ‘ al-Balad al-Amin ’, Shaykh al-Kaf`amiy has reported Imam al-

And by the light of your
illumination have those seeking you

،َ‫تُ ْربَتُك‬
And this holy precinct is yours.
،َ‫وَهذا الْحَرَمَ حَ َرمُك‬

And this death is the death of your

body only,

While you have never been
humiliated since Allah is the One

Who is pouring honor upon you
And you have never been defeated
since Allah is the One Who is
،َ‫وَال َم ْغلُوبَ واهللِ ناصِرُك‬

I would like you to keep this
testimony of mine with you up to the
‫هذِهِ شَهادَةٌ لي عِنْدَكَ إلى‬
day when my soul will be grasped in ،َ‫َيوْمَ قَبْضِ روُحي بِحَضْرَتِك‬

Peace and Allah’s mercy and
blessings be upon you.

It is recommended to say this supplication, which the Holy Prophet (a.s) used to
recite at this night:

O Allah: (please do) grant us an

amount of fearfulness of You
َ‫اللّهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا ِمنْ خَشْيَتِك‬
that prevents us from committing
acts of disobedience to You;
،َ‫مَا يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا َوبَ ْينَ َمعْصِيَتِك‬
and an amount of obedience to ِ‫َومِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا ِبه‬
You that makes us attain Your
satisfaction; ،َ‫ضوَانَك‬

and an amount of conviction that ِ‫َو ِمنَ الْيَقِينِ مَا يَهُونُ َعلَيْنَا ِبه‬
help us tolerate the vicissitudes
of this worldly life. .‫مُصِيبَاتُ الدُّنْيَا‬
O Allah: (please do) make us ‫اللّهُمَّ َأمْ ِتعْنَا بِأَسْمَاعِنَا وََأبْصَا ِرنَا‬
enjoy our hearings, sights, and
powers ‫وَقُوَّتِنَا‬
so long as You decide to keep us
alive; and (please do) make it the ،‫ج َع ْلهُ اْلوَارِثَ مِنَّا‬
ْ ‫مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا وَا‬
inheritor of us.
And (please do) make us avenge
ourselves against them who ،‫وَاجْعَلْ ث ْأ َرنَا َعلَى َمنْ َظلَمَنَا‬
wrong us;
and back us against them who
antagonize us;
،‫وَانْصُ ْرنَا َعلَى َمنْ عَادَانَا‬
and do not suffer misfortunes in
affairs of our religion;
،‫جعَلْ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا‬ ْ َ‫وَال ت‬
and do not make our worldly
affairs happen to be our greatest ‫جعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا وَال‬ ْ َ‫وَال ت‬
concern or our utmost
knowledge;
،‫مَ ْب َلغَ ِعلْمِنَا‬
and do set him who does not have
mercy upon us as master over us;
،‫وَال تُسَلِّطْ َعلَيْنَا َمنْ ال يَرْحَمُنَا‬
in the name of Your mercy; O the
most Merciful of all those who .َ‫بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا َأرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِين‬
show mercy.
Actually, this supplication is one of the perfect, comprehensive prayers that may be

So, in what was put into

of Your statutes

Dua of Holy Prophet in Sajdah after Salatul Layl

Prostrating before You are ‫سوَادِي‬

َ َ‫سَجَدَ لَك‬
my body and my shadow
،‫وَخَيَالِي‬
and my heart is in full faith
of You
،‫وَآ َمنَ بِكَ ُفؤَادِي‬
These are my two hands ُ‫هذِهِ يَدَايَ َومَا جَنَيْ ُته‬
and this is what I have
committed against myself, ،‫َعلَى نَفْسِي‬
O the All-great: You are ِّ‫يَا عَظِيمُ تُرْجَى لِكُل‬
hoped for all enormous
things; ٍ‫عَظِيم‬
Please, forgive me my
serious offences
َ‫اغْفِرْ لِيَ الْعَظِيم‬
because none can forgive َ‫فَإنَّهُ ال َيغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ اْلعَظِيم‬
the serious sin except the
All-great Lord. .ُ‫إالَّ الرَّبُّ اْلعَظِيم‬
The Holy Prophet (a.s) then raised his head and then prostrated himself again,
saying:
‫أَعُوذُ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِي‬
I seek the protection of the
light of Your Face that has ُ‫أَضَاءَتْ َلهُ السَّمَاوَات‬
lit the heavens and the earth
،َ‫ألرَضُون‬
َ ‫وَا‬
and has removed all
darkness
،ُ‫وَانْكَشَفَتْ َلهُ الظُّلُمَات‬
and has made active all the َ‫صلَحَ َعلَ ْيهِ َأمْرُ األَوَّلِين‬
َ َ‫و‬
affairs of the past and the
coming generations َ‫وَاآلخِرِين‬
against Your sudden
chastisement
،َ‫ِمنْ فُجْأَةِ نَقِمَتِك‬
and against withdrawing the
good health that You have ،َ‫حوِيلِ عَافِيَتِك‬
ْ َ‫َو ِمنْ ت‬
granted me
Month of Sha’ban – www.duas.org 53

and against the vanishing of

Your bounties.
.َ‫َو ِمنْ زَوَالِ ِنعْمَتِك‬
O Allah: (please) grant me ً‫اللّهُمَّ ا ْرزُقْنِي َقلْباً تَقِيّا‬
a heart that is pious and
pure, ً‫نَقِيّا‬
and is released from
polytheism,
ً‫َو ِمنَ الشِّرْكِ بَرِيئا‬
and is neither atheist nor
unhappy.
.ً‫ال كَافِراً وَال شَقِيّا‬
The Holy Prophet (a.s) then attached his face to the ground and said:

I am putting my face on
‫عَفَّرْتُ وَجْهِي فِي‬
the ground
ِ‫التُّرَاب‬
and it is my duty to
prostrate myself before َ‫وَحُقَّ لِي أَنْ َأسْجُدَ لَك‬
You
