Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 18030a
"لَوْلا أن أشُقَّ عَلَى أمّتِى لأمَرْتُهُم بالسِّواك عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاة، وَلأخَّرتُ عِشَاءَ الآَخِرَةِ إلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيل الأوَّل، فَإِنَّهُ إذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَيلِ الأولُ، هَبَطَ الله تَعَالى إلى سَماء الدُّنْيَا، فَلَمْ يَزَل هُنَالِكَ حَتَّى يطلُعَ الفَجْرُ، فَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: ألا سَائِلٌ يُعْطَى، ألا دَاعٍ يُجَابُ، ألا سَقِيمٌ يَسْتَشْفي فَيُشْفَى، ألا مُذْنِبٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ".

"If it were not that I would cause hardship to my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwak at every prayer, and I would have delayed the 'Isha' prayer until the first third of the night. For when the first third of the night has passed, Allah, the Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and remains there until dawn breaks. Then a caller says: 'Is there any petitioner who will be given? Is there any supplicant who will be answered? Is there any sick person who seeks healing and will be healed? Is there any sinner who seeks forgiveness and will be forgiven?'"
