[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, Allah does not sleep, nor is it fitting for Him to sleep. He lowers the scales of justice and raises them. The deeds of the day are lifted up to Him before the night, and the deeds of the night before the day. His veil is light, and if it were to be removed, the radiance of His face would burn everything that His sight reaches. He extends His hand during the night to accept the repentance of the wrongdoer of the day, and extends His hand during the day to accept the repentance of the wrongdoer of the night, until the sun rises from its west."  

ابن حبّان:٢٦٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنَامُ وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنَامَ يَخْفِضُ الْقِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ يُرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ عَمَلُ النَّهَارِ قَبْلَ اللَّيْلِ وَعَمَلُ اللَّيْلِ قَبْلَ النَّهَارِ حِجَابُهُ النُّورُ لَوْ كُشِفَ طَبَقُهَا أَحْرَقَ سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَدْرَكَهُ بَصَرُهُ وَاضِعٌ يَدَهُ لِمُسِيءِ اللَّيْلِ لِيَتُوبَ بِالنَّهَارِ وَلُمُسِيءِ النَّهَارِ لِيَتُوبَ بِاللَّيْلِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا»

muslim:179a – Abū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah And ʾAbū Kurayb > Abū Muʿāwiyah > al-Aʿmash > ʿAmr b. Murrah > Abū ʿUbaydah > Abū Mūsá

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing amongst us and he told us five things. He said: Verily the Exalted and Mighty God does not sleep, and it does not befit Him to sleep. He lowers the scale and lifts it. The deeds in the night are taken up to Him before the deeds of the day, and the deeds of the day before the deeds of the night. His veil is the light. In the hadith narrated by Abu Bakr (instead of the word "light" ) it is fire. If he withdraws it (the veil), the splendour of His countenance would consume His creation so far as His sight reaches.  

مسلم:١٧٩a – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ

قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ لاَ يَنَامُ وَلاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنَامَ يَخْفِضُ الْقِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ يُرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ عَمَلُ اللَّيْلِ قَبْلَ عَمَلِ النَّهَارِ وَعَمَلُ النَّهَارِ قَبْلَ عَمَلِ اللَّيْلِ حِجَابُهُ النُّورُ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ النَّارُ لَوْ كَشَفَهُ لأَحْرَقَتْ سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِهِ مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ بَصَرُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ حَدَّثَنَا

"The Messenger of Allah stood up among us and said five things. He said: 'Allah does not sleep, and it is not befitting that He should sleep. He lowers the Scales and raises them. The deed done during the day is taken up to Him before the deed done during the night, and the deed done during the night before the deed done during the day. His Veil is Light, and if He were to remove it, the glory of his Face would burn everything of His creation, as far as His gaze reaches.'"  

ابن ماجة:١٩٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ

"إِنَّ الله لَا يَنَامُ، ولا يَنْبِغى لَهُ أنْ يَنَامَ. يَخْفِضُ الْقِسْطَ، ويَرْفَعُهُ يُرْفَعُ إِلَيهِ عَمَلُ اللَّيلِ قَبْلَ عَمَلِ النَّهارِ، وَعَمَلُ النَّهار قَبْلَ عَمَل اللَّيل، حَجَابُه النُّورُ، لَوْ كَشَفَه لأَحْرَقَتْ سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِهِ مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيهِ بَصَرُهُ مِنْ خَلقِهِ".
