Shab-e-Baraat Mubarak!!!
Assalaam-o-Alykum dosto, ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" prefix="o" ?>
In the 15th night of Sha’baan,
Allah prepares the destiny for all people on Earth for the coming year. So it’s
sometimes called the Night of Emancipation (Lailat-ul-Bara'at i.e.
the night of Freedom from Hell fire
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah
bin Amr {Razi Allaho Anho} that Hayat-un-Nabi {SalAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam} said:
Allah looks with special attention towards His creation
on the fifteenth night of Sha'baan and forgives all His servants except two categories
of people, the person who harbors enmity(hatred) and a murderer.
{Imam Ahmad reports
this Hadith with a slightly weak chain of narrators-Targhib-wat-
Hazrat Usman bin Abil 'Aas {Razi
Allaho Anho} narrates that Hayat-un-Nabi {SalAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam} said:
On the fifteenth night qf Sha'baan Allah's (special
mercy) descends to the nearest heavens. Thereafter, a proclaimer announces:" Is
there anyone who seeks forgiveness so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone who
desires anything so that I may grant his wishes? Allah thus fulfills the requests
of all except the adulteress and idolator.
{ size="2">Baihaqi
has reported this Hadith –Durr-e-Manthur Page 27 Vol.6}
It was also reported on this subject
that `A’ishah, Mother of the Believers, said: The Hayat-un-Nabi {SalAllaho Alaihi
wa Sallam} offered the night vigil Prayer some night, and while he was praying,
he prostrated so long that I thought he had passed away, but he lifted his head
and finished the Prayer. Then He {SalAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam} said, “O `A’ishah
(or O Humaira [as he would call her]), have you thought that the Prophet {SalAllaho
Alaihi wa Sallam} would not give you your right?” I said, “No, by Allah, Allah’s
Messenger. But when you stayed prostrating so long, I thought you had passed away.”
Hazrat Muhammad {SalAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam} then said, “Do you know what night
this is?” I said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He {SalAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam}
said:
This is the 15th night of Sha`ban. Almighty Allah
turns towards His servants on the 15th of Sha`ban and forgives those who ask for
His forgiveness, grants mercy to those who ask for it, and delays (punishing or
bringing to account) the evil people.
This hadith was reported by Al-Baihaqi on the authority of Al-`Ala’ ibn Al-Harith,
one of the successors (At-Tabi`un), which means that this hadith is mursal (reported
by a successor immediately on the authenticity of Mother of the Believers or the
Prophet himself without having a Companion in between in the chain of reporters).
Al-Baihaqi said this is a good mursal hadith.
All days and nights are significant
in the life of a Muslim, however, some days and nights have a special significance
from Allah {SWT}. Every Muslim should therefore value such events. Let us not be
deprived of the tremendous blessings of Allah {SWT} due to sheer negligence and
indifference.
Remember me in your prayers,
AmjaD
