حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ؛ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ؛ أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ؛ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ؛ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ؛ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ
فَقَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَقَالَ: «أَكُنْتِ تَخَافِينَ أَنْ يَحِيفَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَرَسُولُهُ؟» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَتَيْتَ بَعْضَ نِسَائِكَ۔ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يَنْزِلُ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَغْفِرُ لأَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ شَعْرِ غَنَمِ كَلْبٍ۔»

I could not find the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night, so I left ˹looking for him˺ and found him at the Baqīʿ ˹cemetery˺. He said, "Were you afraid that you had been wronged by Allah and His Messenger?" I said: O Messenger of Allah! I thought that you had come to some of your wives. So he said: "Allah ﷻ descends to the lowest sky during the night of the middle of ˹the month of˺ Shaʿbān and then forgives ˹people˺ more than the number of hair on the sheep of ˹the tribe of Banū˺ Kalb."
