It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the last third of the night remains, Allah Almighty descends to the sky of the world and the gates of the heavens are opened. Then Allah Almighty spreads out His hand and says: Is there anyone who asks, so that he may be given? This condition remains until the break of dawn.
