I asked, “May I be sacrificed on you, what are the three eves?” Imam -asws replied, “Eve of Eidul fitr, eve of Eidul Adha and eve of fifteenth Shaban .” [4] سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ بَاتَ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ بِأَرْضِ كَرْبَلَاءَ فَقَرَأَ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِهِ مَلَكَيْنِ يَحْفَظَانِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَ سُلْطَانٍ وَ يَكْتُبَانِ لَهُ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَ لَا تُكْتَبُ عَلَيْهِ سَيِّئَةٌ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرَانِ لَهُ مَا دَامَا مَعَهُ [مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ].
Imam Sadiq -asws said: Allah -azwj will appoint two angels on one who spends the eve of fifteenth Shaban in Kerbala and who do the following : Recite Surah Tauhid a thousand times, seek forgiveness from Allah a thousand times, praise Allah a thousand times and then perform four Rakats prayer reciting Ayatul Kursi a thousand times in each Rakat after Surah Hamd. The two angels will protect him from any harm and from all the evil of every Shaitan and every ruler.
They will only record their good deeds and no sin will be recorded for him. The two angels will continuously seek forgiveness for him as long as they are with them.
