3410. It was narrated from Jābir bin Abdullāh that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Cover your vessels, tie your water skins, extinguish your lamps and lock your doors, for Satan does not untie a water skin, open a door or uncover a vessel. If a person cannot find anything but a stick with which to cover his vessel and mention the Name of Allāh, then let him do so. And the mouse could set fire to the house with its people inside." (Sahih)
3410 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «غَطُّوا الْإِنَاءَ، وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ، وَأَطْفِئُوا السِّرَاجَ، وَأَغْلِقُوا الْبَابَ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَحُلُّ سِقَاءً، وَلَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا، وَلَا يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدُكُمْ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْرُضَ عَلَى إِنَائِهِ عُودًا، وَيَذْكُرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ، فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ، عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ بَيْتَهُمْ»

These instructions are to be implemented prior to going to bed at night. (See Sahih Al-Bukhārī: 5623) While closing doors, covering containers and utensils, and at the time of tying mouth of water skins, Bismillāh, should be recited. Due to its blessings one is protected from the evils of Satan.
