Silsilah as-Sahihah 1902 — Reason for covering vessels at night

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Cover the vessels and tie the mouths of the water-skins, for there is a night in the year in which a plague descends, and it enters any vessel that is not covered and any water-skin that is not tied."
