As for standing in prayer on the fifteenth night, or the middle of Sha'ban, is there any evidence for it?
Answer:
There is no evidence for it, and it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). There is no evidence for singling out the middle night of Sha'ban. However, if a person has the habit of standing in prayer, he stands on the middle night of Sha'ban along with the other nights of the month. But to single it out specifically is a bid'ah. Yes.
