Supplication in the last third of the night


Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven every night when a third of the night remains. He says, 'Who is calling on Me so that I can answer him? Who is asking Me for something so that I can give to him? "Who is asking Me for forgiveness so that I can forgive him?'"

[Narrated by Bukhari, mentioned in Al-Adab al-Mufrad. Chapter titled Guests and Spending.]
