حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ , عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى , قَالَ : احْتَرَقَ بَيْتٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ , فَحُدِّثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَأْنِهِمْ , فَقَالَ : " إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ النَّارُ عَدُوٌّ لَكُمْ , فَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا عَنْكُمْ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Musa said:` "A house burned down in Al-Madinah, with its occupants inside. The Prophet(ﷺ) was told of what had happened, and he said: 'This fire is an enemy to you. When you go to sleep, extinguish it.'"
