3579. Abū Umāmah [may Allāh be pleased with him] said: 'Amr bin 'Abasah reported to me that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "The closest that the Lord is to a worshipper is during the last part of the night, so if you are able to be of those who remember Allāh in that hour, then do so." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route.

٣٥٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ‌ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْعَبْدِ فِي جَوْفِ» اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَذْكُرُ اللهَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ، فَكُنْ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Commentary

In the last part of the night, Allāh ﷺ descends to the Nearest Heaven and asks His worshippers to make supplications to Him, and He bestows His favors and bounties to His worshippers. In the state of prostration man is nearest to Allāh ﷺ, therefore, in the last part of the night the supplications made in the state of prostration are answered.
