باب إِذَا نَامَ عَنْ حِزْبِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ:Chapter: If one misses his nightly portion
Hadith 1523
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاق، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ مَوْلَى أُمِّ صُبَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ، وَلَأَخَّرْتُ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ، فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلُ، هَبَطَ اللَّهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ هُنَالِكَ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ، يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: أَلَا سَائِلٌ يُعْطَى؟ أَلَا دَاعٍ يُجَابُ؟ أَلَا سَقِيمٌ يَسْتَشْفِي فَيُشْفَى؟ أَلَا مُذْنِبٌ مُسْتَغْفِرٌ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ؟" .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If I did not feel hardship for my ummah, I would have ordered them to use the miswak at every prayer time, and to delay the ‘Isha prayer until one third of the night had passed. For when the first third of the night passes, Allah, the Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and remains there until the break of dawn, and an angel calls out: Is there anyone who asks so that he may be given? Is there anyone who supplicates so that his supplication may be answered? Is there any sick person so that he may be cured? Is there any sinner who seeks forgiveness so that he may be forgiven?"
