Disclaimer: There is an _*oft-quoted*_ narration authenticated by Shaikh Al-Albāni (rahimahullāh) that Mu’ādh bin Jabal narrated that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) stated: *“Allah looks upon His creation on the night of the middle of Sha’bān and He forgives all of His creation except for the polytheist (who associates partners with Allah in worship) and the mashāhin (one who harbours hatred against the Muslims and the innovator who abandons the Sunnah).”* Reported by Ibn Abī ‘Āsim in As-Sunnah (no. 512) with Al-Albāni’s checking, Ibn Hibbān (1980), and others. Shaikh Al-Albāni declared the narration to be sahīh in As-Silsilatus-Sahīhah (no. 1144, 3/135 and 1563, 4/86). Also, Ibn Mājah from Abu Mūsā (no. 1390) declared hasan by Al-Albani. This narration that has been authenticated by this Salafi Imām Al-Albāni *does not* prove that the Muslims should engage in *special acts of worship on this night because the hadīth does not mention any deeds specified for this night.* And it is surprising that those who celebrate this night by _*gathering in mosques, lighting candles, handing out sweets and so on from among the Sufis, Deobandis and others*_ are the very people that this hadeeth threatens because the meaning of the term _*“mashāhin”*_ refers to *Ahlul-Bid’ah, those who abandon the Sunnah and harbour hatred for the people of Sunnah.* Ibn Athīr (rahimahullāh) stated: “The _mashāhin_ is the opposer and Al-Awzā’ī stated: *‘The Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) intended here by the term 'mashāhin': the person of innovation, one who splits from the Jamā’ah of the Ummah.*” (See As-Silsilatus-Sahīhah, 4/86).
