It is a requirement of proper etiquette that vessels containing milk or water should always be kept covered and never left uncovered. By doing so, protection will be ensured.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
The word "ghawi" has been recited with both a fatha (zabar) and a kasra (zair) on the letter waw, but according to the most eloquent usage, the fatha is correct. Its meaning is to be engrossed and occupied in evil and wickedness.
Benefits and Issues:
A sermon (khutbah) is generally longer than a lesson (ta’leem).
And it includes all kinds of people.
Therefore, clarification becomes necessary, and for this reason, the preacher should use separate pronouns for Allah and His Messenger.
Moreover, if the pronoun is combined in the context of disobedience, it may give the impression that the disobedience referred to is only that which is committed against both at the same time,
whereas disobedience to Allah and His Messenger can also occur separately. Just as disobedience to Allah is a crime and a sin,
likewise, disobedience to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is also, in itself, a crime and a sin.
However, in obedience and love for them, separation is not possible.
Love and obedience to one necessitate love and obedience to the other.
Therefore, etiquette, respect, and reverence demand that, in the context of disobedience to Allah and His Messenger, they be mentioned separately.
However, in the context of teaching, or in such a setting where there is no risk of misunderstanding,
then it is permissible to use a singular pronoun (one pronoun for both).
As the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said while teaching the Khutbat al-Hajah:
(وَمَنْ يَعْصِهِمَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ، وَلَا يَضُرُّ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا)
Whoever disobeys them both will only harm himself;
he will not harm Allah in the least.
This style was adopted by the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in the context of teaching,
and he addressed such people who could not possibly fall into any doctrinal error or misunderstanding regarding Allah and His Messenger.
