Is fasting the first three days of every Arab month, and fasting the middle of Sha'ban, an innovation (Bid'ah) or a Sunnah?

Fasting three days every month is a Sunnah. It is best that these be the White Days (the 13th, 14th, and 15th).
As for singling out the middle of Sha'ban for fasting, it is not a Sunnah because there is no authentic evidence for it.
