answered but Friday is the only day which has such a moment during the daytime. However, it is not known for sure as to which moment it actually is. The strong likelihood is that it is either between two sermons or a short while before Maghrib.’
Commenting on another Ḥadīš, the reverent Muftī has said that there are forty different opinions of scholars regarding this moment, out of which two are the most likely; as per one opinion, it is between two sermons while, according to the other, it is at the time of sunset.

Sayyidatunā Fāṭima-tuz-Zaĥrā رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا used to sit in her Ḥujraĥ (small room) a short while prior to sunset and would ask Fiḍḍaĥ رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا, her maid, to stand outside; as the sun begins to set, Fiḍḍaĥ رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا would inform her about it and Sayyidaĥ would raise her blessed hands for supplication. (ibid, p. 320)
It is better to ask a concise supplication at that moment; for instance the following Qurānic supplication:
رَبَّنَاۤ اٰتِنَا فِی الدُّنۡیَا حَسَنَۃً وَّ فِی الۡاٰخِرَۃِ حَسَنَۃً وَّ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ﴿۲۰۱﴾
Our Rab! Give us good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of fire!
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]
(Part 2, Sūraĥ Al-Baqaraĥ, verse 201) (Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ, vol. 2, pp. 325)
