He said: “Were you Afraid that Allah would wrong you and that his Messenger would mistreat you?” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, I thought that you might have gone to visit one of your wives.” He said: “On the night of mid-Shaban, Allah Glorious and Exalted descends to the nearest sky, and He pardons more people than there are hairs on the hides of the sheep of the tribes of Kalb.”

Once our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Said: “Ayesha, do you realize the importance of that night? It’s the middle of Shaban night (a month before Ramadan).
