1364. It was narrated that 'Amr bin 'Abasah said: "I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, who became Muslim with you?' He said: 'A free man and a slave.'[1] I said: 'Is there any hour of the night that is closer to Allāh than another?' He said: 'Yes, the last half of the night.'" (Sahih)
1364 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ طَلْقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْبَيْلَمَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ: «حُرٌّ وَعَبْدٌ» قُلْتُ: هَلْ مِنْ سَاعَةٍ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ أُخْرَى؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوْسَطُ»
