What is the Hour of Response on Friday? Is it the hour before the Imam ascends the pulpit, or the last hour before sunset, or something else? And is what is meant by "hour" in the Hadith 60 minutes?

Scholars have differed regarding the exact time of the hour of answered prayers on Friday. Some hold that it is between the Imam's seating on the minbar and the end of the prayer, while others believe it is after Asr. A group of scholars, including Al-Shawkani, favored the view that it is the last hour before sunset. This hour has been kept hidden so that the Muslim strives in supplication throughout the entire day. No specific duration in minutes or seconds has been reported for it.
