To sum up, the virtues of this blessed night are established by ahadith and a group of the salaf (سلف "predecessor") is an early Muslim of the first three generations of proponents of the religion. It is highly recommended to stay up on it, and the opinion declaring it Bida’h (innovation) is a "Reprehensible" (munkar) opinion.

Even now if someone following such groups does not believe in classical scholars then here is a proof from Salafi [Wahhabi] so called Mujaddid of the last century and a reputed scholar Nasir ud Din Albani who declared Hadiths of 15th Shabaan as authentic [Sahih]. See: (Nasir ud din Albani in Silsilat ul-Ahadith-as Sahiha, Volume No. 3, Page No. 135)... |
