وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ
أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ ، عَنْ
جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" أَغْلِقُوا الْبَاب وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ وَأَكْفِئُوا الْإِنَاءَ أَوْ خَمِّرُوا الْإِنَاءَ وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمِصْبَاحَ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ غَلَقًا وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً وَلَا يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً، وَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى النَّاسِ 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: "Shut the door, and tie the mouth of the water-skin, and cover the vessel, and extinguish the lamp, for Satan does not open a closed door, nor untie a knot, nor uncover a vessel, and the mouse burns the people of the house." (That is, if the lamp remains lit while sleeping, the mouse takes the wick and often sets the house on fire.)
