Commentary

All containers of water or food must be duly covered in order to prevent dust or insects sneaking into them, mainly because some of the insects could be dangerous. Particularly at night time the insects etc., come out of their hiding and possibly enter food and drink items. Hence the order to especially keep the vessels covered at night. (Bukhārī: 5623) take care of these matters himself.”(Da'if)
