عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:
'An Abi Hurayrata radiyallahu 'anhu anna Rasulallahi sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallama qala:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
يَتَنَزَّلُ رَبُّنَا، تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ.
Yatanazzalu Rabbuna, tabaraka wa ta'ala, kulla laylatin ila sama'i-d-dunya, hina yabqa thuluthu-l-layli-l-akhir.
Our Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the earth's sky when there remains the final third of the night.
فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟
Fayaqul: man yad'uni fa-astajiba lah?
And He says: Who is saying a prayer to Me that I may answer it?
مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟
Man yas'aluni fa-u'tiyah?
Who is asking something of Me that I may give it to him?
مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟
Man yastaghfiruni fa-aghfira lah?
Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him?
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ زِيَادَةٌ: فَلَا يَزَالُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يُضِيءَ الفَجْرُ.
Wa fi riwayatin li-Muslimin ziyadatun: Fala yazalu kadhalika hatta yudi'a-l-fajr.
In a version by Muslim, the hadith ends with the words: And thus He continues till the light of dawn shines.
رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ (وَكَذَلِكَ مُسْلِمٌ وَمَالِكٌ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ).
Rawahu-l-Bukhari (wa kadhalika Muslimun wa Malikun wa-t-Tirmidhi wa Abu Dawud).
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim, Malik, at-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud).
