[Abu Juwairiya]

"Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Our Lord Descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring...: `Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it tohim? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?” [Source: "Bukhaari and Muslim"]

"The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Hold fast to night prayer, for it was the way of the righteous before you, a way of drawing closer to your Lord, an expiation for wrong deeds, and a shield from sin.” [Tirmidhi]
