حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ يَعْلَی بْنِ عَطَائٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ طَلْقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْبَيْلَمَانِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مَعَکَ قَالَ حُرٌّ وَعَبْدٌ قُلْتُ هَلْ مِنْ سَاعَةٍ أَقْرَبُ إِلَی اللَّهِ مِنْ أُخْرَی قَالَ نَعَمْ جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوْسَطُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1364
It was narrated that' Amr bin 'Abasah said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, who became Muslim with you?' He said: A free man and a slave. I said: 'Is there any hour of the night that is closer to Allah than another?' He said: 'Yes, the last half of the night.'" (Sahih)
