Sahih Muslim 758e (Book 6, Hadith 205) #8930
Seeking Forgiveness During Nighttime

SUMMARY: Allah listens to the prayers of those who seek forgiveness, mercy and favour during the first part of the night.

Abu Sa'id and Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Allah waits till when one-third of the first part of the night is over; He descends to the lowest heaven and says: It there any supplicator of forgiveness? Is there any penitent? Is there any petitioner (for mercy and favour)? Is there any solicitor? -till it is daybreak.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنَىْ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الأَغَرِّ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبِي، هُرَيْرَةَ قَالاَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الأَوَّلُ نَزَلَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how Allah listens to those who seek His forgiveness, mercy and favour during the first part of the night. It is said that when one-third of this time has passed, He descends to the lowest heaven and asks if there are any supplicators or penitents seeking His help. This shows us how merciful Allah is towards us; He gives us a chance every night to ask for His help in whatever we need. We should take advantage of this opportunity by praying sincerely with faith that our prayers will be answered.
