Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abdullah bin Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I participated in a battle. I sought permission to return and hurried back, and upon reaching the door of my house, I saw that a lamp was lit inside and I saw a white thing lying down. I drew my sword, then moved it, and my wife said: "Go away, go away, so-and-so is with me and is combing my hair." Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of this incident. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that a man should return home at night from a journey.
