I could not find the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night. So I went looking for him and ˹found˺ him at Baqīʿ with his head raised toward the sky. Then he said to me: "O ʿĀʾishah, were you afraid that you had been wronged by Allah and His Messenger?" She said that I said: It's not that. However, I thought that you had come to some of your wives. So he said: "Allah ﷻ descends to the lowest sky during the night of the middle of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān and then He forgives ˹people˺ more than the number of hair on the sheep of ˹the tribe of Banū˺ Kalb."  

فَقَدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَخَرَجْتُ أَطْلُبُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالْبَقِيعِ رَافِعٌ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَكُنْتِ تَخَافِينَ أَنْ يَحِيفَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَرَسُولُهُ؟» قَالَتْ: قَدْ قُلْتُ: وَمَا بِي ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَتَيْتَ بَعْضَ نِسَائِكَ۔ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَنْزِلُ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَغْفِرُ لأَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ شَعَرِ غَنَمِ كَلْبٍ۔»
