Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When the last third of the night remains, Allah Almighty descends towards the sky of the world and says: Who will call upon Me so that I may answer his call? Who will ask of Me so that I may grant him? Who will seek forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him? This continues until dawn breaks. That is why people prefer the prayer at the end of the night over the beginning of the night.
