Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
And it is a matter of experience
that travel is accomplished well at night.
In addition, during extremely hot weather, travelers and their mounts find some relief at night.
However, it should be kept in mind that at the time of evening, one should pause for a while,
until it becomes completely dark.
This has been explicitly mentioned in the noble ahadith.
See: (Sahih Muslim, Al-Ashribah, Hadith: 2013)
