Hadith 1516
Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a person sleeps and misses his regular recitation or a part of it, and then recites it between Fajr and Dhuhr, it will be recorded for him as if he had recited it during the night."
Hadith 1517
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)."
Hadith 1518
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our Lord, Blessed is His Name, descends to the lowest heaven every night when the last third of the night remains. He says: Whoever calls upon Me, I will answer his call; whoever asks Me for forgiveness, I will forgive him; and whoever asks from Me, I will fill his hands (with what he asks for). This proclamation continues until (the morning) Fajr."
Hadith 1519
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven every night and says: ‘Is there anyone who asks so that I may give him in abundance? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that I may forgive him?’”
Hadith 1520
Sayyiduna Rifa’ah bin ‘Arabah Juhani رضي الله عنه said: The Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “When half or two-thirds of the night passes, Allah Almighty descends to the lowest heaven and announces until the break of dawn: I will not ask anyone about My servants. Who is there who asks from Me so I may grant him? Who is there who seeks forgiveness from Me so I may forgive him? Who is there who supplicates to Me so I may accept his supplication?”
Hadith 1521
The hadith of Ata bin Yasar is also like this.
Hadith 1522
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a third or half of the night passes..." and he narrated the aforementioned hadith about the descent.
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?"
Hadith 1524
With this chain as well, the aforementioned hadith is narrated similarly from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him).
