A group narrated to me from Abu Muhammad Harun ibn Musa, from al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn al-Farazdaq al-Qit’i al-Bazzaz, who said: Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Maliki narrated to us, who said: Ahmad ibn Hilal al-Abarta’i narrated to us, who said: Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Hammad ibn Uthman, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "Fast during the month of Sha’ban and perform ghusl on the night of its middle, as 'this is an easing from your Lord' (Quran 2:178)."
