Hadith by Hadrat Aisha(R.A.) About SHA'BAN :

Hadrat Aisha(R.A.)the wife of prophet MUHAMMAD(S.A.W.) is reported, having said: "Allah's Messenger(S.A.W.) used to fast until we would say he was never going to stop fasting,  and he would go so long without fasting then we would say he was never going to fast, but i never saw  Allah's Messenger(S.A.W.) continue a fast from the beginning to the end of any month except  the month of Ramadan and I never saw do more fasting in any month than prophet MUHAMMAD(S.A.W.) did in Sha'ban. So I asked him "how is it I always see you fasting in Sha'ban?" and prophet MUHAMMAD(S.A.W.) said:  "O' Aisha, it is the month in which the angel of death(maout ke fariste) has to note down the name of anyone whose soul he must take before the year is out, so I would rather he did not record my name except while I am fasting." Hadrat Aisha(R.A.)said: " The dearest of months to our Prophet MUHAMMAD(S.A.W.)was Sha'ban,  which he would link to  Ramadan."

The Night of nisf (mid) Shaban it is also known as SHAB-E-BARA'T/ LAILAT-UL-BARA'T

This is the night occurring between 14th and 15th day of Shaban. Traditions of Prophet Muhammad , show that it is a meritorious night in which the people of the earth are attended by special Divine Mercy.

prophet Muhammad(S.A.W.) spent whole night of 15th Sha'ban  in worshiping of Allah Pak.

prophet Muhammad(S.A.W.) remained in prostration the half night for the maghfirah [forgiveness] of his Ummah. Not only prophet Muhammad(S.A.W.) prayed for his ummah but also he went himself to the blessed cemetery  of  Janna-tul-Baqqi in Madina Sarif and prophet Muhammad(S.A.W.) prayed for maghfirah[forgiveness] for the dead of his Ummah.

On the Night of 15th Shaban, after Maghrib or Isha prayer it is traditional practice to read Surah Yasin and make special supplications for good health, protection from calamities and increased Iman.

According to tradition this night has special blessings that are directed towards the faithful. Therefore, as much as possible, this night should be spent in worship and total submission to Allah Almighty. Also, fasting is recommended on the day immediately following this Night, i.e. the 15th day of Shaban.

So we request to all Muslim of the world read namaz and good did and prayed for maghfirah[forgiveness] on 15th night of Sha'ban and do fast on 15th day of Sha'ban.
