Riyad us Saliheen
عن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏‏إذا أطال أحدكم الغيبة فلا يطرقن أهله ليلاً‏"‏‏ وفي رواية أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نهى أن يطرق الرجل أهله ليلاً‏‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When one of you stays away (from his family) for a long period of time, let him not surprise his family by night."

In another narration, Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited us from coming back to our family at night.
