It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man named Abu Humayd came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a vessel containing milk from al-Naqi' (a pasture of Madinah), and it was daytime. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not cover it with something? You should have covered it, even if only by placing a stick across its top." This hadith is sahih (authentic), and the mahfuz (well-preserved) route of this text is the narration of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him).
