It was narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Allaah The Almighty spreads out His hand at night to accept the repentance of the one who sinned during the day, and He spreads out His hand by day to accept the repentance of the one who sinned during the night, (and that will continue) until the sun rises from the west.”[1]

He will say, 'Yes.' Then Allaah will say: Did you commit such and such sin? He will say, 'Yes.' So Allaah will make him confess (all his sins) and He will say, 'I screened them (your sins) for you in the world, and today I forgive them for you.”[3]
