ahmad:10756ʿAbd al-Ṣamad And ʾAbū ʿĀmir > Hishām > Yaḥyá > Abū Jaʿfar > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to say, "When one-third of the night remains, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and asks, 'Who is calling upon Me so that I may answer him? Who is seeking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him? Who is asking Me for provision so that I may provide for him? Who is seeking My help against harm so that I may help him?' This continues until dawn breaks."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا بَقِيَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ يَنْزِلُ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي أَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي أَغْفِرْ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَرْزِقُنِي أَرْزُقْهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ أَكْشِفْهُ؟ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ

"إذا بقى ثلثُ الليلِ ينزلُ اللهُ إلى سماءِ الدنيا. فيقولُ: مَنْ ذَا الذي يدْعونى أستجيبُ له؟ مَن ذا الذي يستغفرنى أغفرُ له؟ من ذا الذي يستكشف الضُّرَّ أكشفهُ عنْه؟ منْ ذا الذي يسترزقُنى أرزُقه؟ حتى ينفجرَ الفجرُ".
