Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Cover the vessels, fasten the waterskins, close the doors, and extinguish the lamps, for, indeed, the devil does not loosen waterskins, nor open doors, nor uncover vessels. If one can find nothing to cover his vessel with other than a stick while mentioning the name of Allah, let him do so, because a mouse may set a house on fire with its inhabitants inside."
Source textOriginal Arabic
عن جابر رضي الله عنه مرفوعًا: «غَطُّوا الإِناء، وأَوْكِئُوا السِّقَاءَ، وأَغْلِقُوا الأبوابَ، وأَطْفِئُوا السِّرَاجَ؛ فإن الشيطان لا يَحُلُّ سِقَاءً، ولا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا، ولا يَكْشِفُ إِناءً، فإن لم يجد أحدكم إلا أن يَعْرُضَ على إِنَائِهِ عُودًا، ويذكر اسم الله، فَلْيَفْعَلْ؛ فإن الفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ على أهل البيت بَيْتَهُم».
