Commentary
Going out even for a short period of time, whether in the morning or afternoon, in the cause of Allāh is better than the world and all that it contains. The words "morning" and "afternoon" are used to describe the general practice of the people who set out on their journeys at these hours. It does not mean that going out at any other time of the day or night would not earn a reward from Allāh.
