[Machine] And He said: "They used to sleep little of the night," meaning they would not sleep much, "and in the early morning, they would seek forgiveness."
وَقَالَ: {كَانُوا قَلِيلاً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ} أَيْ مَا يَنَامُونَ {وَبِالأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ}.
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Sky when the last third of the night remains, saying: ’Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to [his invocation]? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him [his request]? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?’”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟»
