سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِي اللَّيْلِ لَسَاعَةً مَا يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي وَ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهَا إِلَّا اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ وَ أَيُّ سَاعَةِ هِيَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ وَ هِيَ السُّدُسُ الْأَوَّلُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النِّصْفِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘During the night there is a particular time in which no Muslim servant would be harmonious with it, then prays <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> and supplicates to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic therein except that it would be Answered for him during every night’. I said, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you<sup>asws</sup> well! And which time it is from the night?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When half the night passes by, and it is the first sixth from the first half’.
