Specifying the middle night of Sha'ban with specific acts and the acts in Sha'ban

The questioner:
We are connected with Muhammad ibn Bishah, yes. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings. May Allah reward you, Shaykh Khalid, and may He do you good, O Honorable Shaykh. We ask Allah for your love in us. May Allah reward you with good. First, there are ages, O Shaykh, where people do [acts] on the middle night of Sha'ban in some Islamic countries. Is this prescribed, and what is prescribed in Sha'ban? Good, another question? The second question: the traveler praying behind the resident, and if he shortens the prayer behind the resident, does he repeat it or not? Good, thank you, please proceed, O Shaykh. The third question, the third question, of course, ha. Your guidance, O Shaykh, to some preachers who cite weak hadiths and incorrect stories in their sermons. Yes. Good. Guide the preachers, may Allah reward you. Thank you, please proceed, O Shaykh, regarding the acts on the middle night of Sha'ban or the acts in general in the month of Sha'ban.

The Shaykh:
As for singling out the middle night of Sha'ban for a specific act of worship, such as prayer, or its day for fasting, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and has no basis. However, what is established regarding Sha'ban is to increase fasting in it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast frequently in Sha'ban, but did not single out only the middle night. Yes.
