Best Time for Du'a

Assalaamu Alaikum :D

May these be beneficial to all of you and may Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala accept each and every one of your du'as that are being done with sincere intentions. Ameen.

Late at night:
When people are sleeping and busy with worldy pleasures, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala gives the believers an opportunity, or an answer hour if they can fight sleep and invoke Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala for whatever they need.

The Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: 'There is at night an hour, no Muslim happens to be asking Allah any matter of this world or the Hereafter, except that he will be given it, and this (occurs) every night.' [Muslim #757]

Middle of the night:
The Messenger (Peace and Blessing be upon him) said: "The Gates of Heaven are open at midnight, and a caller calls, 'Is there a supplicant that his supplication may be granted? Is there a petitioner that his petition maybe granted? Is there a distressed person so that his distress may be removed?' At that time, no Muslim makes a du'a but that it is answered, except for an adulteress who trades with her body, or a person who gathers his money unlawfully." [Sahih al-Jami' 2968]

Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrated that Allah's messenger (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: 'In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer: Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala) descends to the lowermost heaven and says; "Who is csalling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?" [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi]

At the time of Azaan and between it and the Iqamah:
The Messenger (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said: "A du'a between athaan and the iqamah is not refused, so make du'a at that time." [Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibban]

The Messenger (Peace and Blessing Be upon Him) said: "Two kinds of du'a are not rejected - or rarely are they rejected - du'a at the time of the call for prayer, and du'a at the time of fighting when the warriors are engaged with each other." [Abu Dawud]

On Friday after 'Asr The Messenger (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said: "Friday has twelve periods. Among them is a period when no Muslim asks Allah for anything but He grants it to him. Search for that period late after 'Asr." [Sahihal-Jami' 8402]

When it is raining:
The Messenger (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said: "Two kinds of du'a are not rejected: du'a at the time of the call for prayer, and du'a during rain." [Abu Dawud]

Being a parent, while fasting and while travelling:
The Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: "Three types of du'a are undoubtedly granted: a parent's du'a for his children, du'a of a fasting person, and du'a of the traveller." [Abu Dawud]

While Making Sujood:
The Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) said: "The servant is closest to his Lord while in sujud, so ask Allah in that time."

Laylatul-Qadr:
Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be upon Him) what should I say on Laylatil-qadr? And he replied, O Allah, indeed you are a Pardoner, and you love pardon; so pardon me.

An Hour on Friday:
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu): Allah's Messenger (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) talked about Friday and said: 'There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salaah (prayer) and asks something from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, then Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala will definitely meet his demand.' And he (the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam)) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands. [Sahih al-Bukhari]

Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer's leader) enters the mosque on Friday's prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbas), whereas others have said that it is the last hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib prayer)Note - when it said by 'hour', it does not mean the hour everyone knows (60 minutes) but an unspecified period of time because the time counters which is used today came after the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) had died.
