The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade that a man who had long absent should come to his family like (an unexpected) night visitor. (Using translation from Muslim 715z)  

نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَطَالَ الرَّجُلُ الْغِيبَةَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَهْلَهُ طُرُوقًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you returns from a journey, do not enter upon his family at night."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا قَدِمَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ سَفَرِهِ فَلَا يَطْرُقُ أَهْلَهُ لَيْلًا»  

Jabir bin ‘Abd Allaah said “We were on a journey with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. When we were going to come to our family, he said “Stay till we enter during the night, so that the disheveled woman combs herself and the woman whose husband has been away cleans herself. Abu Dawud aid “Al Zuhri said “(this prohibition applies) when one arrives after the night prayer. Abu dawud said “There is no harm in coming (to one’s family) after the sunset prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2778)   

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا ذَهَبْنَا لِنَدْخُلَ فَقَالَ «أَمْهِلُوا حَتَّى نَدْخُلَ لَيْلًا أَيْ عِشَاءً حَتَّى تَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ وَتَسْتَحِدَّ الْمُغِيبَةُ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you enter (your town) at night (after coming from a journey), do not enter upon your family till the woman whose husband was absent (from the house) shaves her pubic hair and the woman with unkempt hair, combs her hair" Messenger of Allah ﷺ further said, "(O Jabir!) Seek to have offspring, seek to have offspring!" (Using translation from Bukhārī 5246)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ لَيْلًا فَلَا تَدْخُلْ أَهْلَكَ حَتَّى تَسْتَحِدَّ الْمُغِيبَةُ وَتَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ» وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ فَعَلَيْكَ الْكَيْسَ الْكَيْسَ»
