حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «السَّفَرُ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ، يَمْنَعُ أَحَدَكُمْ نَوْمَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ، فَإِذَا قَضَى نَهْمَتَهُ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ فَلْيُعَجِّلْ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Traveling is a kind of torture, as it prevents one from sleeping and eating! So when one has finished his job, he should return quickly to his family.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ সফর হলো ‘আযাবের একটা টুকরা, যা তোমাদের সফরকারীকে নিদ্রা ও আহার থেকে বিরত রাখে। তাই তোমাদের কারো প্রয়োজন পূরণ হয়ে গেলে সে যেন শীঘ্র তার পরিবারের কাছে ফিরে আসে। [১৮০৪]

ہم سے ابونعیم نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے مالک نے بیان کیا، ان سے سمی نے، ان سے صالح نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ سفر عذاب کا ایک ٹکڑا ہے، جو انسان کو سونے اور کھانے سے روک دیتا ہے۔ پس جب کسی شخص کی سفری ضرورت حسب منشا پوری ہو جائے تو اسے جلد ہی گھر واپس آ جانا چاہیئے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Nu'aim] berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Sumayy] dari [Abu Shalih] dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Safar itu separuh dari siksaan, seseorang dari kalian akan terhalang untuk tidur dan makan. Jika telah selesai dari keperluannya, hendaklah ia segera kembali pada keluarganya

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'den rivayete göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Yolculuk azaptan bir parçadır. Sizden herhangi birinizin uykusunu ve yemek yemesini engeller. Bu sebeple yolcu yolculuğundan maksadını gerçekleştirecek olursa ailesinin yanına dönmekte acele etsin

What it means

"Travel is a portion of torment”, i.e. part of it. 'Torment' here is the pain resulting from hardship involved in riding, walking and leaving behind one's habitual lifestyle.

"It prevents you from sleeping, eating and drinking", i.e. travel hinders one from enjoying the pleasures of life perfectly due to the hardship, toil, suffering from heat and cold, fear, separation from family and friends, and rough living conditions. That is because a traveler is usually worried, does not eat or drink his normal food and drink as in ordinary times, and likewise is the sleep.

So, if this is the case, then one should return to comfortable life, to his family and country, so that he could look after his family, discipline them and so on.
