[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which part of the night is most virtuous?" He said, "The last third of the night." I said, "Then which prayer is the most beloved to Allah?" He said, "The prayer offered during the last part of the night, except if it occurs after the pre-dawn prayer (Fajr)." I said, "No prayer after pre-dawn prayer?" He replied, "No, except if you are offering voluntary prayers." Then he said, "Indeed, when you wash your face, sins fall from your face. And when you wash your hands, sins fall from your hands. And when you wash your feet, sins fall from your feet."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَسْمَعُ؟ قَالَ جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى الْفَجْرُ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ قِيدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى يَقُومَ الظِّلُّ قِيَامَ الرُّمْحِ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ قِيدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ إِذَا غَسَلْتَ وَجْهَكَ خَرَجَتْ خَطَايَاكَ مِنْ وَجْهِكَ وَإِذَاغَسَلْتَ يَدَيْكَ خَرَجَتْ خَطَايَاكَ مِنْ يَدَيْكَ وَإِذَا غَسَلْتَ رِجْلَيْكَ خَرَجَتْ خَطَايَاكَ مِنْ رِجْلَيْكَ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, during which part of the night should I pray? He replied, "The most beloved to Allah of prayer is in the last third of the night. Then, prayer is accepted until dawn. Then, there is no prayer until the sun rises to the height of a spear or two spears. Then, prayer is accepted until the shadow of an object is equal to its height. Then, there is no prayer until the sun passes its zenith. Then, prayer is accepted until the sun begins to decline and becomes the length of a spear or two spears. Then, there is no prayer until the sun sets."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ أَيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَسْمَعُ؟ قَالَ «جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخَرُ ثَمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى قَدْرِ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ ثَمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى يَقُومَ الظِّلُّ قِيَامَ الرُّمْحِ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ ثَمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ قِيدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "Which part of the night is the best?" He replied, "The last third of the night, then any prayer offered after the dawn prayer is acceptable until the sun rises to the height of a spear or two spears, then the prayer is not accepted until the shadow of an object is the length of its own height. After that, any prayer offered is accepted until the sun reaches its zenith. Then the prayer is not accepted until the sun starts to decline. After that, any prayer offered is accepted until the sun sets."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَسْمَعُ؟ قَالَ «جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْفَجْرَ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ قَيْدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى يَقُومَ الظِّلُّ قِيَامَ الرُّمْحِ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ قَيْدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "Which part of the night is most audible?" He said, "The latter part of the night, and then the prayers are accepted until the dawn prayer is performed. Then there is no prayer until the sun rises to the height of a spear or two spears. Then the prayers are accepted until the shadow of an object is equal to its length. Then there is no prayer until the sun moves past its zenith. Then the prayers are accepted until the sun begins to decline towards the west. Then there is no prayer until the sun sets."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَسْمَعُ؟ قَالَ «جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْفَجْرَ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ قَيْدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى يَقُومَ الظِّلُّ قِيَامَ الرُّمْحِ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ قَيْدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ»  

"عَن كعْب بن مرَّةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ الله: أيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَسْمَع؟ قَالَ: جَوْف اللَّيْلِ الأَخَر، ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَة حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْر، ثُمَّ الصَّلَاة حَتَّى تَطْلُع الشَّمْسُ وتَكُون قَيْدَ رُمْحِ أَوْ رُمْحَيْن ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَقْبُولَة حَتَّى يَقَومَ الظَّلُّ قِيَامَ الرمح، ثُم لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ، ثَمَّ الصَّلَاة مَقْبُولَة حَتَّى تَكُونَ الشَّمْس قَيْد رمْحٍ أَوْ رمْحَينِ، ثُمَّ لَا صَلَاةَ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْس".
