- (كفّوا صِبْيانَكم عند فَحْمةِ العِشاءِ، وإيّاكُم والسّمر بعد هَدْأةِ الرّجلِ؛ فإنّكم لا تدرُون ما يَبُثُّ اللهُ من خَلقِه؟! فأغْلِقوا الأبوابَ، وأطفِئُوا المصْباحَ، وأكفئوا الإناء، وأوكوا السّقاء) .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "During the early darkness of the night, keep your children (inside) at home, and avoid conversation after people have gone to sleep at night, for you do not know which of Allah's creatures He may spread (on the earth). (During the night) close the doors, extinguish the lamps, turn the vessels upside down, and tie the mouth of the water-skins."
