عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي أَحَدًا غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rifa’ah Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When half or two-thirds of the night passes, Allah Almighty descends towards the sky of the world and says: I do not ask anyone except Myself about My servants (because I am fully aware of the conditions of My servants). Who is there who seeks forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him? Who is there who calls upon Me so that I may answer his call? Who is there who asks from Me so that I may grant him? This continues until the break of dawn.
