حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّی إِذَا ذَهَبَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ نِصْفُهُ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ قَالَ لَا يَسْأَلَنَّ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ يَدْعُنِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلْنِي أُعْطِهِ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرْنِي أَغْفِرْ لَهُ حَتَّی يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1367
It was narrated that Rifa’ah Al-Juhani said: "The Messenger of Allah said:' Allah provides Respite until, when half or two thirds of the night has passed. He says:"My slave does not ask of anyone other than Me. Whoever calls upon Me, I will answer him;whoever asks of Me, I will give him; whoever asks my forgiveness, I will forgive him,” until dawn comes”. (Sahih)
