Sayyidunā Khālid Bin Ma’dān رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated, ‘There are 5 such nights in a year, that whoever, whilst affirming them, spends them in worship with the intention of gaining reward, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will make him enter Paradise:
1. the first night of Rajab; i.e. worship during this night and fast during the day.
2. the 15th night of Sha’bān (i.e. Shab-e-Barā`at); i.e. worship during this night and fast during the day.
3-4. the night of Eid-ul-Fiṭr & the night of Eid-ul-Aḍḥā (the night between the 9th and 10th Żul-Ḥijja-til-Ḥarām); worship during these nights but do not fast during the days (as it is impermissible to fast on the days of Eid).
5.
The night of ‘Āshūrā (10th night of Muḥarram); worship during the night and fast during the day. (Al-Badr-ul-Munīr li Ibn-il-Mulaqqin, vol. 5, pp. 40; Ghunya-tuṭ-Ṭālibīn, vol. 1, pp. 327)
