Hazrat Sayyiduna Imam Hassan alaihissalam shab e barat is tarha manaya karte the ke:
Hazrat Ta’uusؒ farmate hain ke main ne Hazrat Imam Hasan bin Aliؑ se 15 th Sha‘ban ki raat aur us mein amal ke baare mein poochha to aapؑ ne irshad farmaya:
“Main is raat ko teen hisson mein taqseem karta hoon.
Ek hisse mein apne Nana Jaan ﷺ par Durood Sharif padhta hoon.
Allah Ta‘ala ke is hukm ki ta‘meel karte hue:
(1) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
‘Ae imaan walo! (Nabi ﷺ) par durood bhejo aur khoob salam bheja karo.’
Doosre hisse mein Allah Ta‘ala se istighfar karta hoon.
Is hukm-e-Ilahi par amal karte hue:
(2) وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
‘Aur na hi Allah aisi halat mein unpar azab farmane wala hai ke woh (us se) maghfirat talab kar rahe hon.’
Teesre hisse mein namaz padhta hoon.
Allah Ta‘ala ke is farman par amal karte hue:
(3) وَاسْجُدْ وَاقْتَرِبْ
‘Aur (Ae Habib-e-Mukarram!) aap sajda kijiye aur (hum se mazeed) qareeb hote jaiye.’
Main ne arz kiya:
Jo shakhs yeh amal kare us ke liye kya sawab hoga? Aapؑ ne farmaya: Main ne Hazrat Imam Aliؑ se suna aur unhon ne Huzoor Nabi-e-Kareem ﷺ se suna,
Aap ﷺ ne farmaya:
“Usay muqarribeen logon mein likh diya jata hai.”
