Hafīdh Ibn Taymiyyah writes: *❝As for the night of the middle of Sha’bān, there are prophetic traditions and reports mentioning its virtue and it has been reported from a group of the Salaf (righteous predecessors) that they would pray during it. Thus, the prayer of a man individually has been done by the Salaf and there is a proof for it, so it cannot be rejected.❞* `[Majmū’ al-Fatāwá 23/132]`
