Compiled by Imam Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi
عن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "إذا أطال أحدكم الغيبة فلا يطرقن أهله ليلاً" وفي رواية أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نهى أن يطرق الرجل أهله ليلاً. ((متفق عليه))
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When one of you stays away (from his family) for a long period of time, let him not surprise his family by night."In another narration, Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited us from coming back to our family at night.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
