The source^[1] dates it firmly — the earthquake "hit the Iberian Peninsula and Northwest Africa on the morning of Saturday, 1 November, Feast of All Saints, at around 09:40 local time". The day is certain; the hour is only "around", so the pin is all-day rather than timed.

The Great Lisbon Earthquake Destroys Lisbon

A magnitude 7.7-or-greater earthquake struck off Cape St. Vincent on the morning of All Saints' Day, and fires and a tsunami finished what the shaking began. Between 30,000 and 40,000 died in Lisbon alone.

Seismologists estimate magnitude 7.7 or greater, with the epicentre in the Atlantic about 200 km west-southwest of Cape St. Vincent and 290 km southwest of Lisbon. [S]
The shaking, the fires that followed and a tsunami together almost completely destroyed Lisbon; the death toll in the city is put at 30,000-40,000, with perhaps 10,000 more in Morocco. [S]
It struck on the morning of All Saints' Day, when churches were full and lit with candles — a large part of why the fires spread as they did. [S]
This was the first earthquake studied scientifically for its effects across a wide area, and is credited with the birth of modern seismology and earthquake engineering. [S]
It was the third large earthquake known to have hit the city, after 1356 and 1531. [S]
