Q: I have a book entitled "Wasiyyat Al-Imam Al-`Arif" (the Will of Imam Al-`Arif), (Part No. 2; Page No. 256) the narrator of the Hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him), i.e. Imam Abu Hurayrah It handles the Numbered Salah, the Du`a' for the night of the 15th of Sha`ban and the Part of Tawassul. The author of this book is Imam Al-Shadhuly. The book contains nonsense and illogical things, and I want to know your opinion on it. May Allah reward you with the best.

A: There is no authentic evidence on the Du`a' to be said at the night of the 15th of Sha`ban. Therefore, doing so as an act of worship is Bid`ah (innovation in religion) which is not permissible to believe in or propagate.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
