Um mul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aa‘ishah Siddeeqah
[Radiyal Allaahu Ta’aalaa ‘Anhaa]
 has narrated that…
The
Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم  stood up in prayer during part of the night
and made his prostration so lengthy that I thought his soul had been
taken back. When I saw this I got up and went to move his big toe,
whereupon he moved, so I drew back. When he raised his head from
prostration and finished praying, he
صلى الله عليه وسلم  said: “O
A’ishaa! Did you think that the Prophet had broken his agreement with
you?” She replied: “No, by Allaah, O Messenger of Allaah, but I thought
that your soul had been taken back because you stayed in prostration for
so long.” He said: “Do you know what night this is?” She said: “Allaah
and His Prophet know best.” He said:
    “This is the night of
Mid-Sha`baan! Verily Allaah the Glorious and Majestic look at His
servants on “the night of mid-Sha`ban, and He forgives those who ask
forgiveness, and He bestows mercy on those who ask mercy, and He gives a
delay to the people of envy and spite in their state.”….excerpt from
