Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Times When Supplication Is Answered
Hadith 5618
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَلِذَلِكَ كَانُوا يُفَضِّلُونَ صَلَاةَ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى صَلَاةِ أَوَّلِهِ
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.
Hadith 5619
عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ وَفِيهِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَرْزِقُنِي فَأَرْزُقَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ فَأَكْشِفَهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ
. (Second chain) There is a similar narration, except that it states: Who will ask Me for sustenance so that I may grant him sustenance, who will ask Me for the removal of distress so that I may remove his distress, until the dawn breaks. '
Hadith 5620
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.
Hadith 5621
عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Allah Almighty descends towards the sky of the world every night and says: Is there anyone who asks so that I may grant him? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness so that I may forgive him? This continues until the dawn breaks.
