Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Inform Your Family Before Returning at Nighttime (Hadith Commentary from Zad alTalibin)

The next Hadith we want to cover today is Hadith number 260 of the

provisions is related by mumble highly anti Muslim. And the

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in this hadith says either

a toilet Halochem a laborer, either a thought that I had to

come a laborer fella took Allahu Leyland, that when one of you any

one of you has been out for a long time. So somewhere where your

family doesn't really know when you're going to come back exactly.

So don't have accurate information about exactly when you're going to

come back. Nowadays, it's a bit difficult for this to ever

happened because we've got our mobiles and cell phones and other

means of communication. So people really know exactly when they're

going to come. But let's just say there's a case where a person has

gone on long journey, they don't their family doesn't really know

where they're going to come back, it says fella took Allahu Leyland,

that a person then should not return to their homes to their

family, specifically here speaking more about their wives, right. In

particular, a person A man should not return to his wife at

nighttime. Because normally at nighttime, one of the purpose, one

of the reasons for this is that if she is not

informed about coming back on that day, a lot of the time what used

to happen is that when people used to come back, there were caravans

that used to pass by on the way there are people that used to see

them, the information would reach out, okay, they're going to be

coming back in the next day or two. And that knowledge would be

there in general. But it says here that if they don't know, then you

shouldn't just kind of come and intrude on to your wife at

nighttime. And the purpose of it is that nighttime is is a time

when a person doesn't really a person doesn't really look the

part as such, they don't really dress properly as such, they're

not really made up properly as such, not saying you have to use

makeup or anything like that. But I'm just saying in general, that

the hair is not combed. And it's also because the person is about

to go to sleep. So in that case, what they normally say is that

stay in the masjid or somewhere and then come in the daytime

unless they've been informed. Now nowadays, it's very difficult that

this ever be the case, right? Because they always they know, but

just say suddenly, you have to come back at night one day, and

they don't know where they're sleeping, you've sent a message,

but they haven't received the message or whatever. So it's a

good idea to let them know. And it's not like necessary to do

this, in the sense that let's just say you do have to, in an

emergency come back one day that you're disallowed, to come back,

right and coming to your house and you have to like go and find a

hotel in the middle of the night or quarter brother's house and go

and stay there. That is not the case.

What it is, what it speaking about is it's just that the husband wife

relationship is very important, especially after a person has come

back from a distant, distant journey. And he wants to see his

wife in the best of ways. So if she knows it's fine, or in

daytime, it's fine because normally people are, you know,

dressed and you know, they've combed their hair and all the rest

of it for others.

So that's essentially that's what it is. That's what this is

speaking about. Kind of a general recommendation for this. So if you

do have to come back at night, it doesn't mean that you're not

allowed to go home or that you can't go into the bedroom. You

have to sneak into the living room and so on. Right. It's just for

other purposes.
