Question:
The questioner asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith that Allah looks at the hearts of the creation in
the middle of Sha’ban and forgivesالنصف من شعبان فيغفر
Sunan Ibn Majah 1390Da’if (Darussalam)
for all of the creation except the polytheist and the one who holds a grudge?

Answer:
This is not established from the Messenger, may Allah peace and blessings be upon him. No hadith is established from the Messenger regarding Sha'ban, except for fasting. He used to fast for most of Sha'ban; he used to fast a lot in Sha'ban. As for anything else, nothing is established regarding Sha'ban, nor regarding the night of the middle of Sha'ban. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
