English translation

2778. It was reported from Sayyār, from Ash-Sha'bī, from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh, who said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on a (return) journey. When we were about to go to our family, he said: 'Delay it until we enter during the night, so that the disheveled woman can comb, and the woman whose husband has been away can clean herself.'" (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: Az-Zuhri said: "At-Tarq means arriving after 'Ishā'." Abū Dāwūd said: And there is no harm if it is after Maghrib.

2778 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَيَّارٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبْنَا لِنَدْخُلَ قَالَ: «أَمْهِلُوا حَتَّى نَدْخُلَ لَيْلًا لِكَيْ تَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ، وَتَسْتَحِدَّ الْمُغِيبَةُ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: الطُّرُوقُ: «بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَبَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ»

Commentary

Whenever the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ returned home from journey and arrived near his destination, he would send a word and it was announced among the people that the fighters were returning to the town, and would reach there by such-and-such time.
