Hadith on Sha’ban: Believers forgiven except the malicious

Abu Tha’labah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “On the middle night of Sha’ban, Allah Almighty looks down upon His creation and He forgives the believers, but He abandons the people of grudges and malice to their malice.”

عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ يَطَّلِعُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ فَيَغْفِرُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَيَتْرُكُ أَهْلَ الضَّغَائِنِ وَأَهْلَ الْحِقْدِ بِحِقْدِهِمْ
