Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not arrive at his family’s home at night when returning from a journey; rather, he would arrive in the morning or after midday.

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade going to one's family at night.
