It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I did not consider it difficult for my ummah, I would have certainly ordered them to use the miswak at every ablution, and to delay the ‘Isha prayer until midnight or one-third of the night. The matter is that when half the night or one-third of the night passes," then (the Prophet, peace be upon him) mentioned the descent of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, (and said that) He says: "Who is there to call upon Me so that I may answer his prayer? Who is there to ask of Me so that I may grant him? Who is there to seek forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him, until the sun rises."
