5. Prayer on the night of 15^th of Shaban

Shaykh al-Tusi and Shaykh al-Kaf’ami say: It is suitable to say the following  prayer at this night:

اِلَهِي تَعَرَّضَ لَكَ فِي هٰذَا اللَّيْلِ الْمُتَعَرِّضُونَ وَ قَصَدَكَ الْقَاصِدُونَ وَ اَمَّلَ

O my Allah! The asking people ask from Thee in this night.  The ones aiming at the noblest purpose aimed at Thee and have hope

فَضْلَكَ وَ مَعْرُوفَكَ الطَّالِبُونَ وَ لَكَ فِي هٰذَا اللَّيْلِ نَفَحَاتٌ وَ جَوَائِزُ وَ عَطَايَا

for Thy Blessings and the demanding ones ask for Thy Goodness. For Thee is this night full of Bliss, gifts, favors

 وَ مَوَاهِبُ تَمُنُّ بِهَا عَلَى مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ تَمْنَعُهَا مَنْ لَمْ تَسْبِقْ لَهُ الْعِنَايَةُ

and givings that Thou Bestow to the one Thou wish from among your men.  Thou stop from the one upon whom Thou Does Not Bestow a Favor.

 مِنْكَ وَ هَا اَنَا ذَا عُبَيْدُكَ الْفَقِيرُ اِلَيْكَ الْمُؤَمِّلُ فَضْلَكَ وَ مَعْرُوفَكَ فَاِنْ

I am a needy one toward Thee, I hope for Thy Blessings and Goodness because

كُنْتَ يَا مَوْلايَ تَفَضَّلْتَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ عَلَى اَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ عُدْتَ

O my Master! If Thou Bless upon a single one from Thy creation and send Thy favor

عَلَيْهِ بِعَائِدَةٍ مِنْ عَطْفِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ

out of Thy Kindness then send Blessings to Mohammad and his noble and purified family,

الْخَيِّرِينَ الْفَاضِلِينَ وَ جُدْ عَلَيَّ بِطَوْلِكَ وَ مَعْرُوفِكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ صَلَّى

the chosen ones and the meritorious ones and Do you Generosity and Goodness to me O the Lord of the worlds and may

اللّٰهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيما اِنَّ اللّٰهَ حَمِيدٌ

Allah shower His Blessings upon Mohammad, the seal of the Prophets and his purified family and the complete salutations.  Indeed Allah is the Praised One and

مَجِيدٌ اللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَدْعُوكَ كَمَا اَمَرْتَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ اِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ

Majestic.  O Allah! I pray as Thee Commanded.  Hence accept my prayers as Thee Promised.  Indeed Thou does not violate

 الْمِيعَادَ.

the promise.
