79. Asking Permission
٧٩۔ كتاب الاستئذان
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not keep the fire burning in your houses when you go to bed."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ {لاَ تَتْرُكُوا النَّارَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ حِينَ تَنَامُونَ}
Putting out lamps and fires before going to sleep
A house in Madinah burned down at night with its occupants inside. The Prophet ﷺ was informed about their situation, and he said: “This fire is only an enemy to you, so when you go to sleep, put it out for your safety.”
احْتَرَقَ بَيْتٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَحُدِّثَ بِشَأْنِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ النَّارَ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ عَدُوٌّ لَكُمْ، فَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا عَنْكُمْ».
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "(At bedtime) cover the utensils, close the doors, and put out the lights, lest the evil creature (the rat) should pull away the wick and thus burn the people of the house."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمِّرُوا الآنِيَةَ وَأَجِيفُوا الأَبْوَابَ وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمَصَابِيحَ فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ رُبَّمَا جَرَّتِ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَأَحْرَقَتْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ
