LessonsTravel, repayment, service, and sufficiency (Hadith 37–43)Quiz

فَإِذَا قَضَى أَحَدُكُمْ نَهْمَتَهُ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ فَلْيُعَجِّلْ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ
Once a traveler has achieved the purpose of the journey, they should return promptly to their family.

إِذَا introduces the condition “when.” قَضَى means “has completed” in this context. نَهْمَتَهُ refers to the need or purpose, and مِنْ وَجْهِهِ points to the undertaking or destination. فَلْيُعَجِّلْ calls for prompt return.

Example: someone travels to another city for treatment. Once the necessary treatment is complete and travel is feasible, they plan their return rather than extending the stay without reason. If treatment is still necessary, the stated condition has not been met.

A prompt return does not imply unsafe travel; it discourages needless delay after the purpose is fulfilled.
