 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 40

Salaah for Every Thursday Night in

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, 2nd and 3rd 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 42

Dua for Day of 3rd Sha’ban

About this blessed day, Shaykh al-Tusi says in

Misawsbah al-Mutahajjid: Imam al-Husain ibn `Ali
(`a) was born on the third of Sha`ban. Abu‘l-Qasim
ibn `Ala‘ al-Hamadani, the representative of Imam
al-hasan al-`Askari (`a), received a document saying
that our master, Imam al-Husain ibn `Ali (`a), was

 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 15 th
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:

ٌٍَُّٗ‫َٱ‬ٚ ٌٍَُّٗ‫الَ ئٌَِٰٗ ئِالَّ ٱ‬َٚ ٌٍَّٔٗٔ ُ‫َٱٌْؾَ ِّذ‬ٚ ٌٍَّٔٗ‫عجِؾَبَْ ٱ‬

god save Allah,and Allah is the Greatest.
 Sha’ban Amaal 60

Ziyarah of Imam Husain for Night of 15 th

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:

ٌٍَّٔٗ‫َب اثَب َػ ِجذٔ ٱ‬٠ َ‫ه‬١ِ ٍَ ‫اٌغٖالََُ َػ‬

Peace be upon you, O Aba-`Abdullah!

ُُٗ‫َثشَوَبر‬َٚ ٌٍَّٔٗ‫َسَؽَِّخُ ٱ‬ٚ ‫ه‬

َ ١ِ ٍَ ‫اٌغٖالَُ َػ‬
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:

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:

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 12 th 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:

My heart is full of faith of You.

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

released from polytheism,

‫ٓب﵁‬١‫ال شَ ٔم‬

َ
and neither atheist nor unhappy.

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

ground and said:

ِ‫ ٱٌزُّشَاة‬ٟٔ‫ ف‬ِِٟٙ‫َع‬ٚ ‫د‬

I am putting my face on the ground

َ‫غذَ ٌَه‬

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.

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:
ِِٓٔ َٰٝ‫َّب َِع‬١ٔ‫ىِٓ غَ َفشِدَ ٌََٕب ف‬

Sha`ban,

ُِْٕٗٔ َٟٔ‫َّب ثَم‬١ٔ‫فَٱغْ ٔفشِ ٌََٕب ف‬

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

Dua for Last Night of Sha’ban

Shaykh al-Tusi has narrated on the authority of

Harith ibn Mughirah al-Nadhri on the authority of
Imam al-Sadiq (`a) who used to say the following
supplicatory prayer at the last night of Sha`ban and
the first night of Ramadan:
