"(sunan ibn-e-maja, jild 2, page# 160, raqm-al-hadees 1388, publish bairut)"
also please tell me the authenticity of "6 nawafil" performed in a specified manner in some masajid. is there any proof of those 6 nawafil.?
wassalaam,

Answer
One may fast on the 15th of Shabaan, however it is not necessary. The hadith in reference is supported by other Ahadith and could be considered for purpsoses of virtue based on the principles of hadith. If you are referring to the six rakaats of nawaafil that is performed specifically on this night then there is no basis for this in Shariah.
