Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَعَفَّانُ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَامِرٍ اسْتَعْمَلَ كِلَابَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ عَلَى الَأَيْلَةِ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ فِي أَرْضِهِ فَأَتَاهُ عُثْمَانُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِي اللَّيْلِ سَاعَةً تُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ هَلْ م
ِنْ دَاعٍ فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ قَالَا جَمِيعًا وَإِنَّ دَاوُدَ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَحَدٌ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ سَاحِرًا أَوْ عَشَّارًا فَدَعَا كِلَابٌ بِقُرْقُورٍ فَرَكِبَ فِيهِ وَانْحَدَرَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَامِرٍ فَقَالَ دُونَكَ عَمَلَكَ قَالَ لِمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا

English Translation
ʿUthmān ibn Abī al-ʿĀṣ رضي الله عنه narrated — ʿAbd al-Ṣamad said in his narration — that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Indeed, in the night there is an hour in which the gates of heaven are opened, and a caller proclaims: 'Is there anyone asking so that I may give him? Is there anyone supplicating so that I may answer him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that I may forgive him?'" They both narrated: And Dāwūd went out one night and said: "No one asks Allah عز وجل for anything at this hour except that He gives it to him — unless he is a sorcerer or a tax collector." So Kilāb called for a ship, boarded it, and sailed down to Ibn ʿĀmir and said: "Here, take your position back." He asked: "Why?" He said: "ʿUthmān told us such-and-such."
