Allāh ﷻ said in the Qur’an: *{فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ}* *“On that night every matter of wisdom is ordained”*_[Qur'an 4:44]_ *Some of the Salaf held the view that this verse refers to the “Middle Night of Sha‘bān (Shab-e-Bara'āt)”.* Imām Ibn Abī al-Dunyā (رحمه الله) reported: The student of Ibn ʿAbbas, ʿIkrimah (رضي الله عنهما) said: *“This verse refers to the night of the middle of Sha‘bān, during which the decrees for the year are finalized. The living are distinguished from the dead, and the names of those who will perform Hajj are recorded—no one is added to them, nor is anyone removed from them.”* `[Kitāb Faḍāʾil Ramaḍān 7, Tafsīr at-Ṭabarī 10/22]` _We know that this Tafsir is not right, but it shows how much importance and sanctity some of the Salaf believed the 15th night of Sha‘bān to have._
