Musnad Abi Ya'la 2258 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Cover
حَدَّثَنَا كَامِلُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : غَطُّوا الْإِنَاءَ ، وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ ، وَأَطْفِئُوا السِّرَاجَ ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَحُلُّ سِقَاءً ، وَلَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا ، وَلَا يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْرُضَ عَلَى إِنَائِهِ عُودًا وَيَذْكُرَ اللهَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ ، فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ بَيْتَهُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Cover the vessels, tie up the mouths of the water-skins and put out the lamp, for Satan does not untie a water-skin, nor open a closed door, nor uncover a covered vessel. And if one of you finds nothing to cover his vessel except to place a stick across it and mention the name of Allah, let him do so, for the little mischief-maker (the mouse) burns down the house over its people."
