"أَمْهِلوا حتَّى نَدْخُلَ ليلًا؛ أَي عِشاءً؛ لِكَيْ تَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ. وتَسْتَحِدَّ المُغِيبَةُ".

Collected by Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, SuyūṭīWe accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on an expedition. When we came (back) to Medina and were going to enter our houses, he said: Wait and enter (your houses) in the later part of the evening so that a woman with dishevelled hair may have used the comb, and a woman whose husband has been away from home may have removed the hair from her private parts.
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ ذَهَبْنَا لِنَدْخُلَ فَقَالَ أَمْهِلُوا حَتَّى نَدْخُلَ لَيْلاً أَىْ عِشَاءً كَىْ تَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ وَتَسْتَحِدَّ الْمُغِيبَةُ
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.
