Agharr says: I bear witness to Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that they bore witness to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Indeed, Allah Almighty grants respite until a third of the night has passed, then Allah Almighty descends (towards the heaven of the world) and says: Is there anyone who asks? Is there anyone who repents? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness? Is there any sinner? A man said: Does this continue until the break of dawn? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
