حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا يَبُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْجُحْرِ، وَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوا السِّرَاجَ، فَإِنَّ الْفَأْرَةَ تَأْخُذُ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَتَحْرِقُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَأَوْكِئُوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ، وَخَمِّرُوا الشَّرَابَ، وَغَلِّقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ بِاللَّيْلِ "،، ، قَالُوا لِقَتَادَةَ: مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ فِي الْجُحْرِ؟ قَالَ: " يُقَالُ إِنَّهَا مَسَاكِنُ الْجِنِّ " (١)، ،

English translation

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: None of you should urinate in a hole, and when you are about to sleep, extinguish the lamp, because sometimes a mouse drags its wick and burns the whole household. Tie the mouths of water skins, cover the drinking vessels, and close the doors at night.
