Sha’ban Amaal 4

It is recommended to repeat as much as possible

the invocation of blessings (salwaat) upon the Holy

Prophet and his Household.

It is also recommended to observe fasting on

Thursdays in Sha`ban. In this respect, a hadith

reads that the skies decorate themselves each

Thursday in Sha`ban and the angels pray Almighty

Allah, saying, ―O our God, (please do) forgive those

who observe fasting on this day and respond to their

prayers.‖

The Holy Prophet (saws) is also reported as

saying, ―If one observes fasting each Monday and

Thursday in Sha`ban, Almighty Allah will grant

forty of his needs—twenty appertained to the

worldly life and twenty to the Hereafter.‖

According to narrations, the best words that are

advisably said in Sha`ban are the implorations for

the forgiveness of Almighty Allah (i.e. istighfar).

Hence, to implore for Almighty Allah‘s forgiveness

Sha’ban Amaal 5

seventy times a day in Sha`ban is equal to imploring

for His forgiveness seventy thousand times a day in

the other months.

It is recommended to give alms in this month

even if it is as small as a half date. Almsgiving in

this month brings about rescue from Hellfire.

In this respect, it has been narrated that when

Imam al-Sadiq (`a) was asked about the merits of

observing fasting in Rajab, he answered, ―Why do

you not ask about the merits of observing fasting in

Sha`ban?‖

―What is then the reward of one who observes

fasting on one day in Sha`ban?‖ asked the narrator.

The Imam (`a) answered, ―The reward will be

Paradise. I swear it by Allah.‖

The narrator then asked again, ―What are the best

deeds that should be done in Sha`ban.‖ The Imam

(`a) answered, ―Almsgiving and imploring for

forgiveness are the best deeds in Sha`ban. Verily, if

Sha’ban Amaal 6

anyone of you gives alms in Sha`ban, Almighty

Allah will breed that alms in the very same way as

you breed your small camels. Hence, this alms will

be as huge as Mount Uhud on the Resurrection

Day.‖

Sha’ban Amaal 7

Sha’ban

It is recommended to offer a two unit prayer each

Thursday in Sha`ban.

In each unit, it is recommended to recite Surah al-

Fatihah once and repeat Surah al-Tawhid one

hundred times.

After accomplishment, one should invoke God‘s

blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household

100 times.

This rite achieves the granting of all worldly and

religious needs.

Sha’ban Amaal 41

1st, 2

nd and 3

rd Sha’ban

On the Night of 1st Sha‘ban recite a 12 unit prayer

in each unit of which Surah al-Fatihah is recited

once and Surah al-Tawhid repeated 11 times.

A great reward is gained from fasting on the first

day of Sha`ban. Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (`a) is

reported as saying, ―Paradise will be incumbently

decided for one who observes fasting on the first

day of Sha`ban.‖

Likewise, Sayyid Ibn Tawus has narrated on the

authority of the Holy Prophet (saws) that an

abundant reward will be conferred to one who

observes fasting on three days in Sha`ban at the

nights of which a 2 unit prayer is offered. In each

unit of this prayer, one should recite Surah al-

Fatihah once and Surah al-Tawhid 11 times.

Sha’ban Amaal 56

Salaah for Night of 13th

, 14th and 15th

Rajab

It is recommended to offer a certain prayer on

each of the White Nights (i.e. the thirteenth,

fourteenth, and fifteenth nights of each Arabic

month) in Rajab, Sha`ban, and Ramadan.

On the 13th Night , recite a 2 Raka‘ Salaah, in each

unit after Sura Fatihah recite Sura Yasin, Sura

Mulk and Sura Tawheed once each.

On the 14th Night recite a 4 Raka‘ and on the 15th

Night recite a 6 Raka‘ Salaah with the same method

as mentioned above.

Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (as) is reported as saying,

―Whoever offers these prayers, will be awarded the

merits of these three months (namely, Rajab,

Sha`ban, and Ramadan) and will have all his sins

forgiven, except polytheism.

Sha’ban Amaal 57

Merits of the Night of 15th

Sha’ban

This night is extraordinarily honorable.

Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (as) has narrated that when

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as) 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, 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 at 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.‖

Imam `Ali ibn al-Husain Zayn al-`Abidin (as)

used to spend this whole night with acts of worship,

Sha’ban Amaal 58

prayers, supplications, invocations, and

implorations for forgiveness.

A tradition confirm that as for one who spends this

whole night with acts of worship, his heart will not

die when other hearts die.

Sha’ban Amaal 59

General Acts for the Night of 15th

Sha’ban

It is highly recommended to bathe oneself at this

night, for this act decreases the punishment for

one‘s sins.

It is recommended to mention Almighty Allah by

the following litany one hundred times so that one‘s

past acts of disobedience to Him will be forgiven

and one‘s worldly and religious needs will be

granted:

عجؾب ٱ ٱ ذ ئال ؾ ٱال ئ ٱ

All glory be to Allah,all praise be to Allah,there is no

god save Allah,and Allah is the Greatest.

Sha’ban Amaal 60

Ziyarah of Imam Husain for Night of 15th

Sha’ban

It is highly recommended to visit the tomb of

Imam al-Husain (as). In fact, this is the most

favorable act at this night. It also brings about

forgiveness of one‘s sins. If you desire that 124,000

Prophets shake hands with you, you may visit the

holy tomb of Imam al-Husain (as) at 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:

ثب ػجذ ػ١ه ٠ب االاغ ٱ

Peace be upon you, O Aba-`Abdullah!

خ اغ سؽ ػ١ه ال ٱ ثشوبر

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

Sha’ban Amaal 61

One who performs this form of Ziyarah is

expected to win the reward of one Hajj and one

`Umrah.

There are two forms of visiting the holy tomb of

Imam al-Husain (a.s) on the fifteenth of Sha`ban.

The first form is the same as the one previously

cited for the Ziyarah on the first of Rajab, and the

second is as follows:

In his book of ‗al-Balad al-Amin‘, Shaykh al-

Kaf`amiy has reported Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) as

saying that one may stop at the holy tomb of

Imam al-Husain (a.s) and say the following:

اؼظ١ ذ اؼ أؾAll praise be to Allah; the Most High, the All-great.

Salaah and Supplication after Isha Salaah

Shaykh al-Tusi, in Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has

narrated a tradition about the merits of the night

of mid-Sha`ban entailing that Abu-Yahya asked

Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (as) about the best of

supplicatory prayers to be said at this night. The

Imam (as) instructed him, saying:

After you accomplish the obligatory `Isha' Prayer,

you may offer a two unit prayer in the first unit of

which you should recite Surah al-Fatihah and Surah

al-Kafirun and in the second Surah al-Fatihah and

Surah al-Tawhid.

When you accomplish the prayer, you may repeat

(the phrase of) subhanallah thirty-three times, (the

phrase of) alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and (the

phrase of) allahu-akbar thirty-four times.

You may then say the following supplicatory

prayer:

In his book of al-Kalim al-Tayyib, Sayyid `Ali

from The Argument of Allah and the Patron of the

Age (Imam al-Mahdi)—peace be upon him:

Wherever you are, you may offer a two-unit prayer,

reading Surah al-Fatihah and any other one in each

unit. Yet, it is advisable to read Surah al-Fath (No.

48) in the first unit and Surah al-Nasr (No. 110) in

the second. You may then stand up, facing the

kiblah direction under the sky and then say the

following:

Ariza to be Written to 12th

Imam (atfs)

Sha’ban Amaal 105

Translation of Ariza

I have written to you O my master, may His mercy

and blessing be on you, seeking a favour from you.

I have complained to you for what has happened to

me seeking solutions firstly from Allah and then

from you for a matter that has obsessed me.

I am helpless in combating the problem and for that I

have resorted to seeking help from Allah and from

you. Knowing the status you have with Allah.

I am confident that you will help me get the

solutions to my problems swiftly and that you will

intercede on my behalf. I am helpless and moreover

I am sinful:

so help O master and present this problem to Allah

and I pray to Him that He will solve this quickly and

grant me victory and success in finding the solution

to my problems.

I am not able to carry or bear with it. Although I am

responsible for the increase of my sins and ignorant

Sha’ban Amaal 106

about my responsibilities (Wajibaats) from Allah

which are given to me.

So help me O my master. Peace be upon you during

this time of problems and sorrow.

Present my prayers to Allah before I compensate and

before my enemies engulf me, for you have shown

me your blessings.

So I pray to Allah for great salvation and near

victory with calmness from all fears, for Allah is

most high and does what he wants. Allah is

sufficient for me from beginning and in my hopes.

Whatever Allah wish there is neither strength nor

any power except in Allah the High, the Great.

Dua in Prostration of Holy Prophet (saws)

on Night of 15th

Sha’ban

It is recommended to do the prostrations and say

the supplicatory prayers that are reported from the

Holy Prophet (s). One of these is that Shaykh al-

Tusi has narrated on the authority of Hammad ibn

Isa on the authority of Aban ibn Taghlib on the

authority of Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (as) recounted the

following:

It was the fifteenth night of Sha`ban when the

Holy Prophet (s) was with `A'ishah, his wife. At

midnight, the Holy Prophet (s) left the bed. When

`A'ishah woke up and could not find him, she felt

jealous and thought that he had joined one of his

other wives. A'ishah searched for the Holy Prophet

(s) 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:

Sha’ban Amaal 160

خ١بعغذ اد ه ع

Prostrating before You are my body and my shadow.

ثه فإاد آ

My heart is full of faith of You.

فغ ػ ١ز ب ع ٠ذا ز

These are my two hands and this is what I have

committed against myself.

O All-great! You are hoped for all enormous things.

ئ ٱغفش ؼظ١Please, forgive me my serious offences,

ئال ٱت زٱ٠غفش الفا ٱ ةشٱؼظ١ ؼظ١

because none can forgive the serious sin except the All-

great Lord.

The Holy Prophet (s) then raised his head and then

prostrated himself again, saying:

Sha’ban Amaal 161

ها ع س ػر ث

I seek the protection of the light of Your Face

ز اٱ غٱظبءد اد الٱب سظthat has lit the heavens and the earth,

The Holy Prophet (s) then attached his face to the

ground and said:

ف ػف ع شاةزٱشد I am putting my face on the ground

عغذ ه ا ا ؽك

and it is my duty to prostrate myself before You.

When the Holy Prophet (s) accomplished these

acts of worship and directed towards his bed,

Sha’ban Amaal 163

`A'ishah ran before him until she reached the bed

before he did. When he heard her speedy breathes,

the Holy Prophet (s) wondered. He then said, ―Do

you know what this night is? This is the mid-

Sha`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.

Sha’ban Amaal 221

Last 3 Days of Sha’ban

Imam al-Ridha (`a) is reported as saying: If one

observes fasting on the last three days of Sha`ban

and attaches it to the obligatory fasting of

Ramadhan, Almighty Allah will decide him as

having observed fasting for two consecutive

months.

Abu‘l-Salt al-Harawi has narrated that when he

visited Imam al-Ridha (`a) on the last Friday of

Sha`ban, the Imam said to him:

Abu‘l-Salt, the days of Sha`ban 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

Qur'an, and repent to Him from your sins so that

you receive the month of Ramadhan with pure

sincerity to Him. You must fulfill 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

Sha’ban Amaal 222

sin that you commit. Fear Almighty Allah and trust

in Him in secret and openly, for ‗If any one 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.

65/3‘

In the rest days of Sha`ban, you may repeat the

following supplicatory prayer very much for

Almighty Allah saves many people from Hellfire on

account of the sanctity of this month:

ع ب ب ف١ غفشد رى ئ ا

شؼجب

O Allah, if You have not forgiven us in the past days of

Sha`ban,

ٱف ب ثم ب ف١ غفش

(please do) forgive us in the rest of it.
