Prophetic Traditions

يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ

Our Lord descends every night to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains, saying: 'Who is calling upon Me so that I may respond?'

Al-Mujeeb actively invites His servants to call upon Him, especially in the blessed last third of the night.

Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه·Sahih al-Bukhari 1145·sunnah.com/bukhari:1145
Sahih

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا

Your Lord is Shy and Generous. He is shy when His servant raises his hands to Him to return them empty.

Al-Mujeeb does not return the hands of the supplicant empty—He responds to every sincere call.

Salman al-Farisi رضي الله عنه·Sunan Abu Dawud 1488·sunnah.com/abudawud:1488
Sahih

Scholarly Insights

Al-Mujeeb responds to supplications in one of three ways: He gives what is asked for, He diverts an equivalent harm, or He stores it as reward for the Hereafter. No sincere dua is ever wasted.
