Etiquette of protecting home and belongings; avoid going out at night
Hadith 2684
- (إذا سمعتُم نُباحَ الكلبِ بالليل أو نُهاقَ الحميرِ؛ فتعوّذوا باللهِ؛ فإنَّهم يرون ما لا ترون. وأقلّوا الخروج إذا هدَأتِ الرِّجلُ؛ فإنّ الله يبُثُّ في ليلهِ من خلقِه ما يشاء. وأجيفُوا الأبوابَ، واذكرُوا اسم الله عليها؛ فإن الشيطان لا يفتحُ باباً أُجيفَ وذُكرَ اسمُ اللهِ عليه. وغطُّوا الجرار، وأكفِئُوا الآنية، وأؤكُوا القِربَ) .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "When you hear the barking of dogs or the braying of donkeys at night, seek refuge with Allah, for they see things which you do not see. When people have gone to sleep, do not go outside, for Allah disperses various creatures at night, and close the doors while mentioning the name of Allah, for the Shaytan does not open a door that has been closed while mentioning the name of Allah. And cover the water jars, turn the vessels upside down, and tie the mouth of the water-skins with a string."
