Musnad Ahmad 9591 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي ، لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ الْوُضُوءِ ، وَلَأَخَّرْتُ الْعِشَاءَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ ، فَإِذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ ، نَزَلَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا , فَقَالَ : هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ ؟ ، هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ ؟ ، هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ فَأَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِ ؟ ، هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأُجِيبَهُ ؟ ، " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I did not fear hardship for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the miswak with every ablution and to delay the Isha prayer until one third or half of the night had passed. Because after one third or half of the night has passed, Allah Almighty descends to the lowest heaven and says: Is there anyone who asks so that I may give to him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness for sins so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone repenting so that I may accept his repentance? Is there anyone calling so that I may answer his call?
