The Shaykh : Al-Duljah is: the night.
The questioner : What is its meaning?
The Shaykh : The meaning is that the traveler, the traveler should not spend all his time traveling, meaning he should not travel all day and all night. No, he travels at the beginning of the day and the end of it, and rests in the middle of the day. In al-Duljah at night, he does not travel the whole night; he travels the beginning of it. And this is, of course, for the traveler, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) likened the work of a person to the work of a traveler, meaning he should not exhaust himself.
