حَدَّثَنَا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرِ بْنِ سَابِقٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو يَحْيَى - وَهُوَ سَلِيمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ وَضَمْرَةُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ، هُوَ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ قَالَ:
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ نَازِلٌ بِعُكَاظٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَقَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَهَلْ مِنْ دَعْوَةٍ أَقْرَبُ مِنْ أُخْرَى، أَوْ سَاعَةٍ [تُبْتَغَى أَوْ يُبْتَغَى] ذِكْرَهَا ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، إِنَّ أَقْرَبَ مَا يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْعَبْدِ جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرَ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَذْكُرُ اللهَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ فَكُنْ

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was encamped at 'Ukaz." Then he mentioned the hadith and said: "So I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, is there any supplication closer than another, or an hour [that is sought or in which it is sought] to be mentioned?' He said: 'Yes. The closest the Lord is to the servant is in the last part of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah in that hour, then be so.'"
