Nisfu Sya'ban

Berkenaan dengan malam Nisfu (pertengahan) Sya'ban ada beberapa permasalahan yang patut diketahui: Tentang keutamaan malam ini, terdapat beberapa hadis yang menurut sebagian ulama sahih. Diantaranya hadis A'isyah: "Suatu malam rasulullah shalat, kemudian beliau bersujud panjang, sehingga aku menyangka bahwa Rasulullah telah diambil, karena curiga maka aku gerakkan telunjuk beliau dan ternyata masih bergerak. Setelah Rasulullah usai shalat beliau berkata: "Hai A'isyah engkau tidak dapat bagian?". Lalu aku menjawab: "Tidak ya Rasulullah, aku hanya berfikiran yang tidak-tidak (menyangka Rasulullah telah tiada) karena engkau bersujud begitu lama". Lalu beliau bertanya: "Tahukah engkau, malam apa sekarang ini". "Rasulullah yang lebih tahu", jawabku. "Malam ini adalah malam nisfu Sya'ban, Allah mengawasi hambanya pada malam ini, maka Ia memaafkan mereka yang meminta ampunan, memberi kasih sayang mereka yang meminta kasih sayang dan menyingkirkan orang-orang yang dengki" (H.R. Baihaqi) Menurut perawinya hadis ini mursal (ada rawi yang tidak sambung ke Sahabat), namun cukup kuat.

Dalam hadis Ali, Rasulullah bersabda: "Malam nisfu Sya'ban, maka hidupkanlah dengan shalat dan puasalah pada siang harinya, sesungguhnya Allah turun ke langit dunia pada malam itu, lalu Allah bersabda: "Orang yang meminta ampunan akan Aku ampuni, orang yang meminta rizqi akan Aku beri dia rizqi, orang-orang yang mendapatkan cobaan maka aku bebaskan, hingga fajar menyingsing." (H.R. Ibnu Majah dengan sanad lemah).

Ulama berpendapat bahwa hadis lemah dapat digunakan untuk Fadlail A'mal (keutamaan amal). Walaupun hadis-hadis tersebut tidak sahih, namun melihat dari hadis-hadis lain yang menunjukkan kautamaan bulan Sya'ban, dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa malam Nisfu Sya'ban jelas mempunyai keuatamana dibandingkan dengan malam-malam lainnya.

Bagaimana merayakan malam Nisfu Sya'ban? Adalah dengan memperbanyak ibadah dan shalat malam dan dengan puasa, namun sebagaimana yang dilakukan Rasulullah, yaitu dengan secara sendiri-sendiri. Adapun meramaikan malam Nisfu Sya'ban dengan berlebih-lebihan seperti dengan shalat malam berjamaah, Rasulullah tidak pernah melakukannya. Sebagian umat Islam juga mengenang malam ini sebagai malam diubahnya kiblat dari masjidil Aqsa ke arah Ka'bah.

Adapun apa yang sering dilakukan oleh sebagian umat Islam, yaitu Shalat Malam Nisfu Sya'ban sebanyak 100 rakaat, ini tidak ada landasannya dan termasuk bid'ah. Syeikh Abdurrahman bin Ismail al-Muqaddisi telah mentahqiq masalah ini. Demikian juga tidak ada do'a khusus untuk malam nisfu Sya'ban, namun cukup dengan do'a-do'a umum terutama do'a yang pernah dilakukan Rasulullah. Jadi sangat dianjurkan untuk meramaikan malam Nisfu Sya'ban dengan cara memperbanyak ibadah, salat, zikir membaca al-Qur'an, berdo'a dan amal-amal soleh lainnya.

Month Of Rajab

Month of Rajab is one month of Muharram, which means Mulya (There are 4 months: Dzulqa'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab). Fasting in the month of Rajab, as in other months Mulya, is Sunnah. It was narrated from al-Bahiliyah Mujibah, he said: "fasted in the months haram (Mulya)." (Reported by Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, and Ahmad). Another Hadith is the history of al-Nasa'i and Abu Dawood (and validated by Ibn Huzaimah): "Usama said to the Prophet, 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not see the Prophet fasting (circumcision) as much as the Apostles did in the month of Sha'ban. ' The Apostle said: 'Month of Ramadhan is the month of Rajab and Ramadan are forgotten by most people.' "

According to al-Syaukani (Naylul Authar, the subject of fasting circumcision), the expression of the Prophet "Month of Ramadhan is the month of Rajab and Ramadan which most people forget" that implicitly suggests that the month of Rajab also disunnahkan fasting in it.

As for the hadith you call it, we also do not find it. There are some other hadiths that explain the virtues of the month of Rajab. Like the following:

• Whoever fasted the month of Rajab, the day he is like fasting for a month, when fasting 7 days then closed Jahim her seven gates of hell, when fasting 8 days, then opened the door for her eighth heaven, and when fasting 10 days then his sins with kindness.
  
• History of al-Sa'id bin Rashid Thabrani: Whoever fasts a day in the month of Rajab is like he is fasting a year, when fasting 7 days then closed her gates of hell, when fasting 8 days 8 doors of heaven opened for him, when fasting 10 days God will grant all requests ....."
• Verily in Paradise there is a river called Rajab, the water is whiter than milk and taste sweeter than honey. Whoever fasts a day in the month of Rajab, he will be blessed with a drink from the river.
• History (in mursal) Abul Fath al-Hasan, the Prophet said: "Rajab is Allah month, Sha'ban is my month, Ramadan is my people month."
• These traditions dha'if (less powerful) as confirmed by Imam al-Suyuti in the book Haawi lil Fataawi.
• Ibn Hajar, in his book "Tabyinun Ujb", insisting there is no hadith (whether valid, Hasan, or dha'if) which explains the virtue of fasting in the month of Rajab. Even his friend Umar narrated that prohibits actions specializes with the fasting month of Rajab.

Written by al-Syaukani, in Nailul Authar, that Ibn Subki narrated from Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Sam'ani who say there is no strong hadith that shows kesunahan fasting Rajab in particular. Also mentioned that Umar Ibn Rajab makruh fasting, as Abu Bakr al-Tarthusi who say that fasting Rajab is makruh, because there are no strong arguments.

However, according to al-Syaukani opinion, if all the hadith that specifically indicate the primacy and sunah fasting month of Rajab in it less powerful become the foundation, then the common traditions (like the so-called first above) was sufficient to cause a argument or a runway. In addition, because there is also no strong arguments that makruh fasting in the month of Rajab.
