Shauban 15th.

Undoubtedly, the islamic Hijri month of Shauban is one of the four holy/sacred  month to Muslims. There are a lot of authentic ahaadhith to prove this. It is a virtue to fast most of the days of this month, except the last few days the month.

Likewise, mid Shauban or Shaban 15 night is a night with extra benefits and extra virtue to be observed with extra prayers and supplication. Prominent scholars such as Imam-al-Shafi'ee and  Ibn Taymiyyah and many others are of this opinion. But there is a group of scholars who differs in view and regard the night as any other night. Thus, this creates a lots of fuss and misunderstanding about this night. But there need not be, as very clearly explained in the below links

The problem with the people is glorifying a thing to an extreme.Be it a night, a person, an event or even a place ,etc. As such some go on extreme to glorify the night to have unwarranted ceremonies, visiting graveyard at the night and performing unprescribed congregational prayers. And the others, to counter this bid'ah behaviour totally ignore the blessing and goodness of the night.

As for me, I would pray and recite Surah YaSin that night, inSha Allah. For I believe there must be a truth about the night of Shauban 15 for many prominent Islamic Scholars to agree upon benefits and virtues of that night. And I believe  in a merciful God who will not punish me for praying Him. I seek every opportunity to purify my soul an be closer to Allah.

May Allah have mercy on us.
