Hadith 1048

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ ، أَنَّ الْجُلَاحَ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَهُ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ ثِنْتَا عَشْرَةَ يُرِيدُ سَاعَةً لَا يُوجَدُ مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَتَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا آخِرَ سَاعَةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ " .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ said: Friday is divided into twelve hours. Amongst them there is an hour in which a Muslim does not ask Allah for anything but He gives it to him. So seek it in the last hour after the afternoon prayer.

1390. Commentary:

➊ In this narration, "saa‘aat" refers to the well-known (astronomical) hours, meaning there are certain moments appointed by Allah, which possess virtue, and among them the most excellent is that moment in which no supplication is rejected.

➋ According to the most authenticated narrations, that time or moment is sometime after ‘Asr (afternoon) prayer. Although there are other opinions regarding this as well. And Allah knows best.
