Chapter: It is disliked to enter at night when coming home from a journey
It has been narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) would not come (back) to his family by night. He would come to them in the morning or in the evening.
Another version of the tradition narrated on the same authority worded slightly differently. It says: (He) would not enter (upon his household at night).
It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir b. 'Abdullah who said: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on an expedition. When we came (back) to Medina and were going to enter our houses, he said: Wait and enter (your houses) in the later part of the evening so that a woman with dishevelled hair may have used the comb, and a woman whose husband has been away from home may have removed the hair from her private parts.
It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: If one of you comes (back from a journey) at night. he should not enter his house as a night visitor (but should wait) until a woman whose husband has been away from house has removed the hair from her private parts and a woman with dishevelled hair has combed her hair.
This tradition has been handed down through another chain of transmitters.
It has been narrated (through a different chain of tranmitters) on the authority of Jabir who said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade that a man who had long absent should come to his family like (an unexpected) night visitor.
The above tradition has been narrated through another chain of transmitters.
It has been narrated (through a different chain of tranmitten) on the authority of Jabir who said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade that a man should come to his family like (an unexpected) night visitor doubting their fidelity and spying into their lapses.
This tradition has been reported through anothee chain. 'Abdurahman, one of the sub-narrators, said I do not know if it in the hadith or not , meaning (the words) doubting their fidelity and spying into their lapses.
A version of the tradition narrated on the authority of Jabir (but through a different chain of transmitters) mentions the undesirability of coining to one's house like a night visitor, but does not contain the words: Doubting their fidelity or spying into their lapses.
