malik:49-21Mālik > Abū al-Zubayr al-Makkī > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr al-Makki from Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Lock the door, tie the waterskin, turn the vessel over or cover it, and put out the lamp. Shaytan does not open a locked door or untie a tied knot, or uncover a vessel. A mouse may set fire to people's houses about them."  

مالك:٤٩-٢١وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَغْلِقُوا الْبَابَ وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ وَأَكْفِئُوا الإِنَاءَ أَوْ خَمِّرُوا الإِنَاءَ وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمِصْبَاحَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لاَ يَفْتَحُ غَلَقًا وَلاَ يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً وَلاَ يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً وَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَيْتَهُمْ

tirmidhi:1812Qutaybah > Mālik b. Anas > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Close the door, tie the water-skin, turn over the vessel, or cover the vessel, and extinguish the torch. Indeed Ash-Shaitan does not open what is closed, nor undo what is fastened, nor uncover a vessel, but the small vermin may cause a fire in people's houses." He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Abu Hurairah, and Ibn 'Abbas.  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih, and it has been reported through other routes from Jabir.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَغْلِقُوا الْبَابَ وَأَوْكِئُوا السِّقَاءَ وَأَكْفِئُوا الإِنَاءَ أَوْ خَمِّرُوا الإِنَاءَ وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمِصْبَاحَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لاَ يَفْتَحُ غُلُقًا وَلاَ يَحِلُّ وِكَاءً وَلاَ يَكْشِفُ آنِيَةً وَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَيْتَهُمْ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ
ahmad:15145Ḥasan > Zuhayr > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Close the doors, extinguish the lamps, cover the containers, and put out the flames, for indeed, Shaytan does not open closed doors, nor undo sealed knots, nor uncover containers. Indeed, the wicked person ignites fire upon the inhabitants of the house."  

أحمد:١٥١٤٥حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَغْلِقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ وَأَوْكُوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ وَخَمِّرُوا الْإِنَاءَ وَأَطْفِئُوا السُّرُجَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ غُلُقًا وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً وَلَا يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ  

ahmad:14228Wakīʿ > Fiṭr > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Close your doors, cover your utensils, turn off your lights, and plug your water containers. Surely, Satan does not open a closed door, reveal a covered object, untie a tied knot, and a mouse can set a house on fire."  

أحمد:١٤٢٢٨حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ فِطْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَغْلِقُوا أَبْوَابَكُمْ وَخَمِّرُوا آنِيَتَكُمْ وَأَطْفِئُوا سُرُجَكُمْ وَأَوْكُوا أَسْقِيَتَكُمْ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا مُغْلَقًا وَلَا يَكْشِفُ غِطَاءً وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً وَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ الْبَيْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ يَعْنِي الْفَأْرَةَ  

ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِإِغْلَاقِ الْأَبْوَابِ وَإِيكَاءِ السِّقَاءِ وَإِطْفَاءِ الْمِصْبَاحِ وَتَخْمِيرِ الْإِنَاءِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Close the doors, cover the containers, put out the lamps, for indeed, Shaytan does not open a closed door, nor untie a tied knot, nor uncover a container. And verily, the sinful person sets fire to people's homes."  

ابن حبّان:١٢٧١أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَغْلِقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ وَخَمِّرُوا الْإِنَاءَ وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمِصْبَاحَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ غَلَقًا وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً وَلَا يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً وَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَيْتَهُمْ»

[Machine] "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Cover the container, plug the water container, close the doors, and extinguish the lamp, for indeed, the devil does not untie a knot, uncover a container, or open a door."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ غَطُّوا الْإِنَاءَ وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ وَأَغْلِقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ وَأَطْفِئُوا السِّرَاجَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَحِلُّ سِقَاءً وَلَا يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً وَلَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا

Indeed Ash-Shaitan does not open what is closed, nor undo what is fastened, nor uncover a vessel, but the small vermin may cause a fire in people's houses."

السيوطي:٣٦٦٦a

"أغلِقُوا الأبْوَابِ، وأوْكِئُوا السِّقَاءَ، وأكفِئُوا الإِنَاءَ، وَخَمِّرُوا الإِناءَ، وأطفِئُوا المِصْباحَ، فإِنَّ الشيطانَ لا يفتح غَلَقًا، ولا يحُلُّ وكاءً، ولا يَكْشِفُ إِناءً، وإن الفُويسِقةَ تَضْرِمُ على النَّاسِ بَيتَهُمْ".
