Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنِ الْأَغَرِّ وَأَ
بِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَلِذَلِكَ كَانُوا يُفَضِّلُونَ صَلَاةَ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى صَلَاةِ أَوَّلِهِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Kamil, from Ibrahim, from Ibn Shihab, from al-Agharra and Abu Salama ibn 'Abd al-Rahman — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Our Lord (تبارك اسمه) descends every night, when the last third of the night remains, to the lowest heaven and says: "Who calls upon Me, that I may answer him? Who asks Me, that I may give him? Who seeks My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?" — until the dawn rises. That is why they [the Companions] used to prefer the prayer of the last part of the night over the prayer of the first part.'
