[Machine] I bear witness that Abu Sa'id and Abu Hurayrah testified that they heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: "Indeed, Allah gives respite until when two-thirds of the night have passed, He descends and says, 'Is there anyone who asks so that he may be given? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness so that he may be forgiven? Is there anyone who supplicates so that his supplication may be answered?

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ هَبَطَ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَيُعْطَى؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَيُسْتَجَابُ لَهُ؟

Until dawn emerges."
