Hadith #39442
وَعَن مَالك بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَا يَقُولَانِ: الصَّلَاةُ الْوُسْطَى صَلَاة الصُّبْح. رَوَاهُ فِي الْمُوَطَّأ
وَرَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ عَن ابْن عَبَّاس وَابْن عمر تَعْلِيقا
Our Lord who is blessed and exalted descends every night to the lowest heaven when two-thirds of the night have passed and says, “Who supplicates me so that I may answer him? Who asks of me so that I may give to him? Who asks my forgiveness so that I may forgive him?”
(Bukhari and Muslim.) In a version by Muslim it is said that He then spreads out His hands and says, “Who will lend to One who is neither indigent nor unjust?"* till the dawn breaks.
*The lending mentioned here is presumably the doing of good works.
