"إِذَا مَضَى نِصفُ اللَّيلِ ينزِلُ الله ﷻ إِلى السماءِ الدُّنْيا فيقولُ: لا أسألُ عَنْ عبادِي أحدًا غيرِى، منْ ذا الَّذي يسَتَغْفِرنى فأغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذا الذَّي يدعُونِى فأستجيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذا الَّذي يَسألُنى فأُعْطيَه؟ حتَّى يَطلُعَ الفجرُ".

Collected by Muslim, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, SuyūṭīAllah descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the first part of the night is over and says: I am the Lord; I am the Lord: who is there to supplicate Me so that I answer him? Who is there to beg of Me so that I grant him? Who is there to beg forgiveness from Me so that I forgive him? He continues like this till the day breaks.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ حِينَ يَمْضِي ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الأَوَّلُ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ فَلاَ يَزَالُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يُضِيءَ الْفَجْرُ
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Allah provides respite until, when half or two thirds of the night had passed, He says: “My slave does not ask of anyone other than Me. Whoever calls upon Me, I will answer him; whoever asks of Me, I will give him; whoever asks My forgiveness, I will forgive him,” until dawn comes.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ نِصْفُهُ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ قَالَ لاَ يَسْأَلَنَّ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ يَدْعُنِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلْنِي أُعْطِهِ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرْنِي أَغْفِرْ لَهُ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ
[Machine] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Allah descends to the heavens every night when one-third of the night has passed and says, 'Who will call upon Me, that I may answer him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?'' And this continues until the break of dawn."
