Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ " وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ: ثُمَّ يَبْسُطُ يَدَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: «مَنْ يُقْرِضُ غَيْرَ عَدُومٍ وَلَا ظَلُومٍ؟ حَتَّى ينفجر الْفجْر»

Abu Hurayrah, may God be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Our Lord, Blessed and Exalted, descends every night to the lowest heaven when the final third of the night remains and says: Who is supplicating to Me so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that I may give to him? Who is seeking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?

In a version transmitted by Muslim, it says: Then He stretches out His hands and says: Who will lend to One who is neither in need nor unjust? This continues until dawn breaks.
