Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When half the night (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words:) or two-thirds of the night passes, Allah Almighty descends towards the sky of the world and calls out: Who is there who asks from Me so that I may grant him? Who is there who supplicates to Me so that I may accept his supplication? Who is there who asks for sustenance so that I may provide for him? Who is there who seeks forgiveness so that I may forgive him? (The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:) This continues until the break of dawn."
