(Book 15, Hadith 30) #35551
Allah's Descent Every Night

SUMMARY: Allah descends to the heaven of this world every night and asks who will call on Him, ask Him for something, or ask forgiveness from Him so that He may answer, give, and forgive them.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Abdullah al-Agharr and from Abu Salama from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, descends every night to the heaven of this world when the last third of the night is still to come and says, 'Who will call on Me so that I may answer him? Who will ask Me so that I may give him? Who will ask forgiveness of Me so that I may forgive him?' "
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَغَرِّ، وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Make du’a regularly especially during nights when Allah descends down seeking people who want His help or forgiveness .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the mercy of Allah. Every night when the last third of the night is still to come, Allah descends to the heaven of this world and calls out for those who wish to call on Him so that He may answer them; those who wish to ask something of Him so that He may give it; and those who seek forgiveness so that He may forgive them. This shows us how merciful our Lord is - even in the middle of a dark night when we are asleep, He is still looking out for us and giving us an opportunity to be forgiven if we have done wrong. It also teaches us not only how important it is for us as Muslims to make du’a but also how powerful du’a can be - if we take advantage of these moments when our Lord comes down every night then surely our prayers will be answered!
