Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَغْلِقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ، وَأَوْكُوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ، وَخَمِّرُوا الْإِنَاءَ، وَأَطْفِئُوا السُّرُجَ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ غُلُقًا، وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً، وَلَا يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً، فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: When you go to sleep at night, close the doors, cover the vessels, extinguish the lamps, and tie the mouths of the water skins, for Satan cannot open a closed door, cannot remove a cover, and cannot untie a knot. And sometimes a mouse becomes the cause of burning down the whole house.
