If a housefly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure (antidote for that disease).(1) Five kinds of animals are Fuwaisiq (harmful), and one is allowed to kill them even in the Sanctuary (Al-Haram) of Makkah and Al-Madina.

3316. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Cover your utensils and tie your water-skins, and close your doors and keep your children close to you at night, as the jinn spread out at such time and snatch things away. When you go to bed, put out your lights, for the Fuwaṣiq (harmful) animals (i.e., mouse or animals) may drag away the wick of the candle and burn the dwellers of the house." 'Aṭā' said, "The devils." (instead of the jinn).

3316 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، رَفَعَهُ، قَالَ «خَمِّرُوا الآنِيَةَ، وَأَوْكُوا الأَسْقِيَةَ، وَأَجِيفُوا الأَبْوَابَ وَاكْفِتُوا صِبْيَانَكُمْ عِنْدَ العِشَاءِ، فَإِنَّ لِلْجِنِّ انْتِشَارًا وَخَطْفَةً، وَأَطْفِئُوا المَصَابِيحَ عِنْدَ الرُّقَادِ، فَإِنَّ الفُوَيْسِقَةَ رُبَّمَا اجْتَرَّتِ الفَتِيلَةَ فَأَحْرَقَتْ أَهْلَ البَيْتِ»، قَالَ: ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَحَبِيبٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ «فَإِنَّ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ»
