“ As for the middle night of Sha’baan, there are various narrations that have been narrated regarding its significance and it has been reported from a group of the Salaf (predecessors) that they performed Salaat in it individually, hence, such a deed cannot be disputed.’(Majmoo’ al-Fataawa ibn Taymiyah vol.23 pg.132)

The translation is wrong.
First of all, the Sheikh has mentioned that there were narrations of such but he used the verb in the passive voice which is an indication that these are weak narrations.
As for the phrase “such deeds can’t be disputed”, this is not correct.
He said that such deeds on the mid of Sh’aban – due to the fact that there are weak narrations – shouldn’t be an issue where people go and say you shouldn’t do that as if it is a clear evil.
Therefore, he is comparing something that is complete fabrication which is Al Raghaib prayer and forms of worship on the mid of Sa’ban.
