Continuation of the exegesis of the verse: (( ... and those who seek forgiveness in the last hours of the night )) .

The ones who seek forgiveness are those who ask for the forgiveness of Allah, and forgiveness is: covering the sin and passing over it, derived from *ghufr* which is covering with protection, and from it is the *mighfar* (helmet) that is placed on the head in war, for it combines covering and protection. And His saying: The *ba* here indicates temporal or locative context, meaning in them, and *al-As-har* is the plural of *sahar*, which is the end of the night, meaning they ask for forgiveness at this time of the day, at the end of the night. Why? First: because it is the time when Allah, Mighty and Majestic, descends to the lowest heaven, for Allah the Exalted descends to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains, and He says: , and secondly, it is the time when they are free from *tahajjud* and work, and a person is required to seek the forgiveness of Allah when he is free from worship, and for this reason it is prescribed for us to seek the forgiveness of Allah the Exalted three times after the prayer, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted, commanded us to seek forgiveness in Hajj when? Likewise, also at the end of the night after *tahajjud*, the one who performs *tahajjud* asks Allah for forgiveness, and this, meaning asking for forgiveness after finishing the worship, contains the perfection of humility before Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and that a person does not become proud of his knowledge, but rather fears falling short in it, so he seeks forgiveness for any deficiency or shortcoming from him in this worship.
