Riyad as-Salihin, 410
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "He who is afraid of the pillage of the enemy, sets out in the early part of the night; and he who sets out early, reaches his destination. Be on your guard that the commodity of Allah is precious. Verily the commodity of Allah is Jannah". <b>[At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم
من خاف أدلج ، ومن أدلج، بلغ المنزل، ألا إن سلعة الله غالية، إلا إن سلعة الله الجنة
((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن)).
