«إذا سمعتم نباح الكلاب ونهيق الحمير بالليل فتعوذا بالله من الشيطان فإنهن يرين ما لا ترون وأقلوا الخروج إذا هدأت الرجل فإن الله عز وجل يبث في ليلة من خلقه ما يشاء وأجيفوا الأبواب واذكروا اسم الله عليها فإن الشيطان لا يفتح بابا أجيف وذكر اسم الله عليه وغطوا الجرار وأوكئوا القرب وأكفئوا الآنية»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"When you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys at night, seek refuge with Allah from Satan, for they see things (devils) that you do not see. And when the sound of footsteps has died down (people have gone to sleep), go out less at night, for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, spreads at night whatever He wills of His creation. And close the doors and mention the name of Allah over them, for Satan does not open a door that has been closed and over which the name of Allah has been mentioned. And cover the jars, tie up the mouths of the water-skins, and turn the vessels upside down."
