Mishkat al-Masabih #3758
Jihad
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ مَا دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ أَهْلَهُ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سفرٍ أوَّلُ الليلِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Jabir reported the Prophet as saying, “The best time for a man to go in to his family on returning from a journey is at the beginning of the night.”
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
