Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir that Hazrat Abu Humaid brought a drink to the service of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace be upon him) was in Baqi. So he (peace be upon him) said: "Why did you not cover it? Even if you had just placed a piece of wood across it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir. He says that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Close your doors. And cover your vessels. And tie the mouths of your water skins."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri. He says that we were commanded to tie the water skins.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ja'far. He says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, liked a covered vessel.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zadhan. He says that when a vessel remains uncovered at night, the devil spits into it. So I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said: Or the devil drinks from that water.

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Saeed. She says: I brought sahur (pre-dawn meal) to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and placed it before him. And he was performing prayer at that time. Then when he finished the prayer, he said: Why did you not cover it? Did you see when Satan put his mouth in it? Throw it away. He refused to drink it.
