أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبأَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ
أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
"يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ لِنِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ، أَوْ لِثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ، فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي، فَأُعْطِيَهُ ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ ؟ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ أَوْ يَنْصَرِفَ الْقَارِئُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty descends to the lowest heaven every night when the last half of the night remains, or when the last third of the night remains, and He says: Who is there to supplicate to Me so that I may accept his supplication? Who is there to ask of Me so that I may grant him? Who is there to seek forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him? This continues until dawn breaks, or until the one praying finishes the Fajr prayer (i.e., this call continues until that time)."
