Mishnah%20in%20talmud for Megillah 2:6

כָּל הַלַּיְלָה כָּשֵׁר לִקְצִירַת הָעֹמֶר וּלְהֶקְטֵר חֲלָבִים וְאֵבָרִים. זֶה הַכְּלָל, דָּבָר שֶׁמִּצְוָתוֹ בַיּוֹם, כָּשֵׁר כָּל הַיּוֹם. דָּבָר שֶׁמִּצְוָתוֹ בַלַּיְלָה, כָּשֵׁר כָּל הַלָּיְלָה:

The entire night is kasher for the harvesting of the omer and the burning of the fats and the limbs [left over from the afternoon tamid, viz. (Leviticus 6:2): "It is the burnt-offering upon its firewood on the altar all the night."] This is the rule: Something whose mitzvah is in the daytime is kasher the entire day, [to include the arranging of the two containers of frankincense placed on the show bread], and something whose mitzvah is at night is kasher the entire night, [to include the eating of the Pesach offering, which is kasher the entire night, the sages having said "until midnight" only to keep one far from transgression.]
