Abu Umamah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that ‘Amr ibn ‘Abasah told him he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘The Lord is nearest to a servant in the last part of the night. If you are able to be among those who remember Allah at that hour, then do so.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih gharib hadith through this route.
