Question:
Also, among the questions that came in, this questioner says: Are there any hadiths that distinguish the middle of Sha'ban? And is it reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast the entire month of Sha'ban?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast a lot in Sha'ban; he would fast most of it. As for singling out the night of the middle of Sha'ban or the day of the middle of Sha'ban, there is no evidence for that. No sound evidence has been established for it. All the narrated hadiths regarding that are not authentic. Yes.
