The day after tomorrow is 15th of Sha'ban (depends on where you live) & a large number of Salaf (r) would revere it's night and prep for it as mentioned by scholars throughout generations

You'll find it recorded in multiple books, like al-lata'if al-mara'if by Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, al-madkhal of Ibn al-Hajj al-Maliki al-Fasi,

Before someone says all the hadith on it's virtues are weak:

• The multitude of these chains relating to the common subject of the hadiths strengthen each other and so the hadith at that time becomes good (Hasan) due to the multitude i.e they have a good possibility of being true

• Ibn Taymiyyah said the prayer of someone praying individually during the night has a precedent with some of the salaf, and therefore stands as a proof for it. So it cannot be objected to

• Majority of scholars say the weak hadith can be acted in matters of virtues (fada'il al aml)

• The salaf acted upon it, we go by the salaf who knew more ahadith than what reached us and were more knowledgeable of Islam
