It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not come upon women unexpectedly at night." That is, when one of you returns from a journey, he should go to his family only during the day. The narrator said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was returning from a journey, and two men, after this saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), went ahead (in haste) and reached their families, and each of them found a strange man with his wife.
