Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْبَاقِي يَهْبِطُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ يُعْطَى سُؤْلَهُ وَلَا يَزَالُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَسْطَعَ الْفَجْرُ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad told us, Abd al-Aziz ibn Muslim told us, Abu Ishaq al-Hamdani told us, from Abu al-Ahwas, from Ibn Mas'ud, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When the last third of the night remains, He descends to the lowest heaven, then opens the gates of heaven, then extends His hand and says: Is there anyone asking, that he may be given his request? And He continues thus until dawn breaks."
