It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Make it your practice to travel in the last part of the night, for the earth is folded up for the traveller at night." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) halted (on a journey) during the night, he would lie down on his right side, and if he halted shortly before dawn (Fajr), he would raise his forearms upright and rest his blessed head on his palm. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
