Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: "Every night, when the first third of the night has passed, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says: I am the King. Who is calling upon Me so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that I may give him? Who is seeking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him? This continues until dawn breaks." Reports on this topic are also narrated from Ali ibn Abi Talib, Abu Said, Rifaa al-Juhani, Jubayr ibn Mutim, Ibn Masud, Abu al-Darda, and Uthman ibn Abi al-As. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Abu Hurayrah is hasan sahih. This hadith has been transmitted from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet through many chains. It is also reported from him with the wording: "Allah, Mighty and Majestic, descends when the last third of the night remains." This is the soundest of the narrations.
