Is there anyone who has wronged himself who will call upon Me, that I may forgive him? Is there anyone whose provision has been restricted who will call upon Me, that I may provide for him? Is there anyone who has been wronged who will call upon Me, that I may come to his aid? Is there any captive who will call upon Me, that I may set him free?’” He said: “This continues until morning,” and he related the hadith.
