1389. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I missed the Prophet ﷺ one night, so I went out looking for him. I found him at Al-Baqi', raising his head towards the sky. He said: 'O 'Aishah, were you afraid that Allâh and His Messenger would wrong you?'" She said: "I said: 'No, it is not that, but I thought that you had gone to one of your other wives.' He said: 'Allâh descends on the night of the middle of Sha'bân to the lowest heaven, and He forgives more than the number of hairs on the sheep of Banu Kalb.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
Scholars hold all the Ahâdith describing the virtues of the night of the middle of Sha'bân, including Hadith No. 1390 as 'Weak'. In fact no special merit of this night is proved from sound Ahâdith. Shaikh Albâni also regards most of these Ahâdith as 'Weak'. The only exception according to
him is Hadith no.1390, and according to him the Hadith proves the excellence of the night under reference.
