Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam ‘ala Rasulillah
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah (Radi-Allahu ‘anhu):
Allah’s
Apostle (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “When night falls (or when
it is evening), stop your children from going out, for the devils
spread out at that time. But when an hour of the night has passed,
release them and close the doors and mention Allah’s Name, for Satan
does not open a closed door. Tie the mouth of your water-skin and
mention Allah’s Name; cover your containers and utensils and mention
Allah’s Name. Cover them even by placing something across it, and
extinguish your lamps.”
