Hadith.1239 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, calls out every Thursday night (the night of Jumu’ah) from above His Throne, from the beginning of the night until its end: 'Is there not a believing servant who calls upon Me concerning his Hereafter and his worldly life before the break of dawn so that I may answer him? Is there not a believing servant who repents to Me from his sins before the break of dawn so that I may accept his repentance? Is there not a believing servant upon whom I have tightened his provision who asks Me for an increase in his provision before the break of dawn so that I may expand it for him? Is there not a believing servant who is sick and asks Me to heal him before the break of dawn so that I may grant him health? Is there not a believing servant who is imprisoned or in distress who asks Me to release him from his confinement so that I may free him? Is there not a believing servant who is wronged and asks Me to avenge his oppression before the break of dawn so that I may grant him justice?' The call continues until the break of dawn."

Hadith.1240 - Abd al-Azim ibn Abdillah al-Hasani narrated from Ibrahim ibn Abi Mahmoud, who said: “I said to Imam al-Ridha (as), "O’ son of the Messenger of Allah (sw), what do you say about the narration that people relate from the Messenger of Allah (sw), that Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, descends to the sky of the world every Jumu’ah night?" Imam (as) replied: "May Allah (swt) curse those who distort words from their proper places. By Allah (swt), the Messenger of Allah (sw) did not say that. What he did say was: 'Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, sends an angel to the sky of the world every night during the last third of the night, and on the night of Jumu’ah at the beginning of the night. He commands the angel to call out: Is there anyone who asks that I may grant him? Is there anyone who repents so that I may accept his repentance? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that I may forgive him? O’ seeker of good, come forward, and O’ seeker of evil, desist.' The angel continues to call out until the break of dawn, and when dawn breaks, he returns to his place in the celestial realm." My father narrated this to me from my grandfather, from his forefathers, from the Messenger of Allah (sw).
