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 at every prayer time 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?

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There was a man among the Children of Israel whose name was Jurayj. Once, he was praying when his mother came and called out, "Jurayj, my son! Look towards me, I am your mother, I have come to speak to you." He thought to himself whether he should respond to his mother or continue his prayer. In the end, he did not reply to his mother. This happened several times. Finally, his mother (prayed against him and) said, "O Allah, do not let him die until he has to deal with sinful women."
Meanwhile, a slave girl used to graze her master's goats and would take shelter under his monastery. She committed adultery and became pregnant. The people caught her. At that time, the custom was to kill the adulterer. The people asked her, "Whose child is this?" She said, "This boy is Jurayj's." The people came to Jurayj with axes and ropes and said, "O hypocrite Jurayj! Come down." Jurayj refused to come down and started praying. The people began to demolish his monastery, upon which he came down. The people put a rope around the necks of Jurayj and the woman and began to parade them among the people. He placed his finger on the child's stomach and asked, "O boy, who is your father?" The boy replied, "So-and-so shepherd."
