حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدُوسِ بْنِ كَامِلٍ السَّرَّاجُ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ ثُوَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي فَاخِتَةَ

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ فَقَالَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُوتِرَ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ؛ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَهْبِطُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْعُلْيَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ؟ حَتَّى إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ ارْتَفَعَ

✧ There was a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ called Abu Al-Khattab who asked the Prophet ﷺ about Witr prayer. The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I prefer to perform Witr prayer during the second half of the night. Surely, Allah descends from the highest heaven to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone who asks so I may grant? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness so I may forgive? Is there anyone who supplicates so I may respond?' Until the dawn comes up."
