Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This hadith also contains evidence that there is a time in the night when no Muslim servant coincides with it asking Allah for good in the matters of this world or the Hereafter, except that Allah grants it to him. So it encourages a person to seek to have supplication in every hour of the night, and it is not obligatory that it be in prayer, because the hadith did not restrict it. So a person should seize the opportunity so that no hour of the night passes without him having supplicated to Allah for what is good in this world and the Hereafter.
And in it is the condition that the supplication be for good, as a precaution against supplicating for evil, for it is not answered because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) does not command obscenity and forbids sin. So it is good to ask Allah for beneficial knowledge, it is good to ask Allah for righteous deeds, it is good.

The Shaykh : Do not rush, O Hidayat Allah, let it be received. It is also good to ask Allah for good provision by which he becomes independent of others, and it is good to ask Allah for a righteous wife and a righteous child, all of this is good. And it is also good to ask Allah (the Exalted) for good character, for among the best of deeds is that a person has good character. But if he asks for evil, such as supplicating with sin against a person who is not oppressing him, then this is forbidden for him and not permissible, and it is not accepted from him because Allah does not love those who transgress, as He (the Exalted) said:[Al-A'raf 7:55] Or if he supplicates with what harms the Muslims, then it is not permissible for him to do that. So if he hesitates whether there is good for the Muslims in it or not, he should refrain, until it becomes clear that it is good.
And in it also ... in this hadith that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) loves.
