Muharib bin Dithar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from his uncle that I used to pass by the house of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and would hear him saying: O Allah! You called me and I responded, and You commanded me and I obeyed, and this is the time of sahar (pre-dawn), so seek forgiveness for me. One day I heard him saying these words, so I said to him: I have heard you saying these words at the time of sahar. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, Sayyiduna Ya'qub (peace be upon him) delayed his sons until the time of sahar.
