Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Uthman narrates that Hazrat Salman said: Surely Allah is shy of the fact that His servant stretches his hands towards Him and asks for goodness with those hands, and then his Lord returns them disappointed!

Hazrat Abu Huraira and Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri narrate that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Surely Allah grants respite until a third of the night has passed, then Allah Almighty descends to the sky of the world and says: Is there anyone seeking forgiveness? Is there anyone repenting? Is there anyone supplicating? Is there anyone asking? Until the dawn breaks.

Hazrat Abu Dharr narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah says! O My servants! All of you are sinners except the one whom I have granted well-being. So seek forgiveness from Me, I will forgive you. And whoever knows that I have the power to forgive him, I will forgive him and it will not matter to Me. O My servants! All of you are astray except the one whom I have guided. So seek guidance from Me, I will guide you. O My servants! All of you are needy except the one whom I have made self-sufficient. So ask from Me, I will grant you.
