Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a person sleeps and misses his regular recitation or a part of it, and then recites it between Fajr and Dhuhr, it will be recorded for him as if he had recited it during the night."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty descends to the lowest heaven every night when the last half of the night remains, or when the last third of the night remains, and He says: Who is there to supplicate to Me so that I may accept his supplication? 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? This continues until dawn breaks, or until the one praying finishes the Fajr prayer (i.e., this call continues until that time)."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our Lord, Blessed is His Name, descends to the lowest heaven every night when the last third of the night remains. He says: Whoever calls upon Me, I will answer his call; whoever asks Me for forgiveness, I will forgive him; and whoever asks from Me, I will fill his hands (with what he asks for). This proclamation continues until (the morning) Fajr."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven every night and says: ‘Is there anyone who asks so that I may give him in abundance? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that I may forgive him?’”

Sayyiduna Rifa’ah bin ‘Arabah Juhani رضي الله عنه said: The Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:“When half or two-thirds of the night passes, Allah Almighty descends to the lowest heaven and announces until the break of dawn: I will not ask anyone about My servants. Who is there who asks from Me so I may grant him? Who is there who seeks forgiveness from Me so I may forgive him? Who is there who supplicates to Me so I may accept his supplication?”

The hadith of Ata bin Yasar is also like this.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a third or half of the night passes..." and he narrated the aforementioned hadith about the descent.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If I did not feel hardship for my ummah, I would have ordered them to use the miswak at every prayer time, and to delay the ‘Isha prayer until one third of the night had passed. For when the first third of the night passes, Allah, the Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and remains there until the break of dawn, and an angel calls out: Is there anyone who asks so that he may be given? Is there anyone who supplicates so that his supplication may be answered? Is there any sick person so that he may be cured? Is there any sinner who seeks forgiveness so that he may be forgiven?"

With this chain as well, the aforementioned hadith is narrated similarly from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would get up at night for Tahajjud, he would recite this supplication: «اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ ........ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ» up to,“O my Allah! All praise is for You alone, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them, You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them, all praise is due to You, and You are the King of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them, You are True, Your command is true, Your promise is true, meeting You is true, Paradise is true, Hellfire is true, resurrection after death is true, all the Prophets are true, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is true. O Allah! I submit to You, and I believe in You, and I put my trust in You, and to You I turn, and by Your proofs I argue, and I make You my judge. So forgive me for what I have done before and what I will do later, what I have done in secret and what I have done openly. You are the One who brings forward and the One who delays. There is no deity except You, and there is no power and no strength except with You.”
