Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى أَحَدَنَا إِذَا جَاءَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ أَنْ يَطْرُقَ أَهْلَهُ قَالَ فَطَرَقْنَاهُنَّ بَعْدُ.
English Translation
Abidah told us, al-Aswad ibn Qays told us, from Nubayh al-Anazi, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to forbid any of us, when coming from a journey, to come upon his family unannounced at night. He said: we did come upon them unannounced afterward.
