Translation

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Our Lord, Blessed and Exalted, descends every night to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains, and says: ‘Who will call upon Me, that I may answer him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?’” “O Allah, I have greatly wronged myself and none forgives sins except You, so grant me forgiveness from You, and have mercy on me. Indeed, You are the Forgiving, the Merciful.”
