If one of you comes (back from a journey) at night. he should not enter his house as a night visitor (but should wait) until a woman whose husband has been away from house has removed the hair from her private parts and a woman with dishevelled hair has combed her hair. (Using translation from Muslim 715x)   

أحمد:١٤٨٢٢حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ أَبُو الْحَكَمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ لَيْلًا فَلَا يَأْتِ أَهْلَهُ طُرُوقًا كَيْ تَسْتَحِدَّ الْمُغِيبَةُ وَتَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ
