أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَأَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ عَرَابَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا مَضَى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ نِصْفُهُ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ هَبَطَ اللهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي أَغْفِرُ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي أَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي أُعْطِيهِ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ اللَّفْظُ لِإِسْحَاقَ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When half of the night or two thirds of it has passed, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says: 'I will not ask about My servants other than Myself. Who is there who seeks My forgiveness that I may forgive him? Who is there who supplicates to Me that I may answer him? Who is there who asks Me that I may give him?' until the dawn breaks." The wording is that of Ishaq.
