وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ لِيَتُوبَ مُسِيءُ النَّهَارِ وَيَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ بِالنَّهَارِ لِيَتُوبَ مُسِيءُ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Translation

Abu Musa (may God be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘God stretches out His hand at night so that the one who sinned by day may repent, and He stretches out His hand by day so that the one who sinned by night may repent—until the sun rises from the west.’ Muslim transmitted it. The Arabic source grades it sahih (al-Albani).
