2857. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Cover the vessels, tie the water-skins, close the doors and extinguish the torches, for indeed the vermin may drag away the wick, causing a fire for the inhabitants of the house.” (Saḥīh) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Saḥīh, and it has been reported through other routes from Jābir from the Prophet ﷺ.
٢٨٥٧ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ شِنْظِيرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَمِّرُوا» الْآنِيَةَ، وَأَوْكُوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ، وَأَجِيفُوا الْأَبْوَابَ، وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمَصَابِيحَ، فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ رُبَّمَا جَرَّتِ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَأَحْرَقَتْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

It is known from other narrations that the above mentioned deeds should be started with the Name of Allāh. If the utensils of eating and drinking are not covered, there is a risk of a poisonous substance, at least a fly or mosquito, and dust falling in.
