Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35898 — A traveller coming home to his family

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I took part in a campaign. I asked permission to return, hurried, came back quickly and reached the door of my house. A lamp was burning in the house, and I saw something white lying asleep. I drew my sword and then shook it, and my wife said: 'Keep away, keep away! So-and-so is with me and is combing my hair.'" Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of this incident, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man to return home from a journey at night."
