Etiquette of protecting home and belongings; avoid going out at night
Hadith 2687
- (غَطُّوا الإناء، وأوكُوا السِّقاء؛ فإن في السّنَةِ ليلة ينزل فيها وباء لا يَمُرُّ بإناءٍ لم يُغَطَّ ولا سقاءٍ لم يُوكَ؛ إلا وقع فيه من ذلك الوباء) .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "(At night) cover the vessels and tie the mouth of the water-skins with a string, because in the year there is a night in which a plague descends, and it passes by every vessel that is not covered and every water-skin that is not tied, and it enters into it."
