Shaban Salaat
It has been reported from the Holy Prophet (peace and blessing be upon his family): Whoever recites on the twenty-third night of Sha'ban a 30 (2x15) Raka' prayer, reciting in each unit Surah Fatiha once and Surah 110 Nasr once.
Allah would remove all deceit from his heart and he would be amongst those whose hearts were expanded at the early times of Islam. Allah the Sublime would resurrect him with his face shining like the full moon.
Recite anytime a 4 units Salat, in each unit (Rak’at) after Surah-al-Hamd recite 50 times Surah-at-Tawheed.
Holy Prophet Muhammad al Mustafā (saws) said "If a person recites this in the month of Sha’ban and then during death his spirit will be removed with ease, and his grave will become spacious, and on the day of Qiyamat when he comes out of his grave, his face will be shining bright like a full moon and ‘Kalmae Shahadat’ will be on his lips."

إِلٰهِي هَبْ لي كَمَالَ ٱلاِنْقِطَاعِ إِلَيْكَ
ilahi hab li kamala alinqita`i ilayka
My Lord, (please) grant me absolute devotion to You
وَأَنِرْ أَبْصَارَ قُلُوبِنَا بِضِيَاءِ نَظَرِهَا إِلَيْكَ
wa anir absara qulubina bidiya'i nazariha ilayka
and illumine the vision of our hearts by the light of their gaze looking towards You
حَتَّىٰ تَخْرِقَ أَبْصَارُ ٱلْقُلُوبِ حُجُبَ ٱلنُّورِ
hatta takhriqa absaru alqulubi hujuba alnnuri
until the vision of our hearts pierces the curtains of light
فَتَصِلَ إِلَىٰ مَعْدِنِ ٱلْعَظَمَةِ
fatasila ila ma`dini al`azamati
to reach the core of supremacy,
وَتَصِيرَ أَرْوَاحُنَا مُعَلَّقَةً بِعِزِّ قُدْسِكَ
wa tasira arwahuna mu`allaqatan bi`izzi qudsika
and that our souls become suspended by the majesty of Your Holiness.
إِلٰهِي وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ نَادَيْتَهُ فَأَجَابَكَ
ilahi waj`alni mimman nadaytahu fa-ajabaka
My Lord, (please) appoint me of those who responded to You when You called them,
وَلاحَظْتَهُ فَصَعِقَ لِجَلالِكَ
wa lahaztahu fasa`iqa lijalalika
and at whom You glanced so he swoons before Your Majesty
فَنَاجَيْتَهُ سِرّاً وَعَمِلَ لَكَ جَهْراً
fanajaytahu sirran wa `amila laka jahran
So You speak to him secretly and he works for You openly.
إِلٰهِي لَمْ أُسَلِّطْ عَلَىٰ حُسْنِ ظَنِّي قُنُوطَ ٱلأَيَاسِ
ilahi lam usallit `ala husni zanni qunuta al-ayasi
My Lord, do not let the dejection of despair overshadow my beautiful opinion
وَلاَ ٱنْقَطَعَ رَجَائِي مِنْ جَمِيلِ كَرَمِكَ
wa la inqata`a raja'i min jamili karamika
and do not cut my hope from Your generosity
إِلٰهِي إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلْخَطَايَا قَدْ أَسْقَطَتْنِي لَدَيْكَ
ilahi in kanat alkhataya qad asqatatni ladayka
My Lord, if my lapses have made me to fall from Your grace,
فَٱصْفَحْ عَنِّي بِحُسْنِ تَوَكُّلِي عَلَيْكَ
fasfah `anni bihusni tawakkuli `alayka
So please pardon me for the beauty of my reliance upon You.
إِلٰهِي إِنْ حَطَّتْنِيَ ٱلذُّنُوبُ مِنْ مَكَارِمِ لُطْفِكَ
ilahi in hattatni aldhdhunubu min makarimi lutfika
My Lord, if my wrongdoings have excluded me from the generosity of Your grace,
فَقَدْ نَبَّهَنِي ٱلْيَقِينُ إِلَىٰ كَرَمِ عَطْفِكَ
faqad nabbahani alyaqinu ila karami `atfika
So certainly my conviction reassures me of Your generosity and gentleness.
إِلٰهِي إِنْ أَنَامَتْنِيَ ٱلْغَفْلَةُ عَنِ ٱلإِسْتِعْدَادِ لِلِقَائِكَ
ilahi in anamatni alghaflatu `an alisti`dadi liliqa'ika
My Lord, if my neglect has lulled me into slumber preventing me from preparing myself for my meeting with You,
فَقَدْ نَبَّهَتْنِي ٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ بِكَرَمِ آلاَئِكَ
faqad nabbahatni alma`rifatu bikarami ala'ika
So certainly my recognition apprises me of your generous bounties has awakened me.
إِلٰهِي إِنْ دَعَانِي إِلَىٰ ٱلنَّارِ عَظِيمُ عِقَابِكَ
ilahi in da`ani ila alnnari `azimu `iqabika
My Lord, if Your grave chastisement calls me to the Hellfire,
فَقَدْ دَعَانِي إِلَىٰ ٱلْجَنَّةِ جَزِيلُ ثَوَابِكَ
faqad da`ani ila aljannati jazilu thawabika
So Your plentious reward has called me to Paradise.
إِلٰهِي فَلَكَ أَسْأَلُ وَإِلَيْكَ أَبْتَهِلُ وَأَرْغَبُ
ilahi falaka as'alu wa ilayka abtahilu wa arghabu
My Lord, so to You I beg and I implore and I request.
وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
wa as'aluka an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
I beseech You to bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad
وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِمَّنْ يُدِيمُ ذِكْرَكَ
wa an taj`alani mimman yudimu dhikraka
and to include me with those who always remember You,
وَلاَ يَنْقُضُ عَهْدَكَ
wa la yanqudu `ahdaka
and those who never break their promise to You,
وَلاَ يَغْفُلُ عَنْ شُكْرِكَ
wa la yaghfulu `an shukrika
and who do not neglect to thank You,
وَلاَ يَسْتَخِفُّ بِأَمْرِكَ
wa la yastakhiffu bi-amrika
and who never belittle Your commands.
إِلٰهِي وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِنُورِ عِزِّكَ ٱلأَبْهَجِ
ilahi wa alhiqni binuri `izzika al-abhaji
My Lord, (please do) submerge me in the most blissful lights of Your majesty,
فَأَكُونَ لَكَ عَارِفاً
fa-akuna laka `arifan
so that I will recognize You
وَعَنْ سِوَاكَ مُنْحَرِفاً
wa `an siwaka munharifan
and renounce all else except You,
وَمِنْكَ خَائِفاً مُرَاقِباً
wa minka kha'ifan muraqiban
and that I will be fearful of and careful with You.
يَا ذَا ٱلْجَلاَلِ وَٱلإِكْرَامِ
ya dha aljalali wal-ikrami
O Lord of Majesty and Honor!
وَصَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِهِ وَآلِهِ ٱلطَّاهِرِينَ
wa salla allahu `ala muhammadin rasulihi wa alihi alttahirina
May Allah send blessings to Muhammad, His Messenger, and upon his Household the Infallible,
وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً
wa sallama tasliman kathiran
and may countless greetings be to them.
