عَن أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَسَةَ رضي الله عنه أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ العَبْدِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرِ، فَإِنْ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ فَكُنْ».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Umama amesema: Alinisimulia Amru bin Abasa radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake kuwa, alimsikia Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akisema: "Mahala pa karibu zaidi anapokuwa Mola Mlezi na mja ni katikati ya usiku wa mwisho, ikiwa utaweza kuwa miongoni mwa wanaomtaja Mwenyezi Mungu katika wakati huo basi fanya".
Abu ’Umāmah reported: ‘Amr ibn ‘Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) related to me that he heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The nearest the Lord to a servant is in the course of the last part of the night. So, if you are able to be among those who remember Allah at that hour, do so."
