"إِنَّ هذه النَّارَ إِنَّمَا هِى عَدُوٌّ لَكُمْ فإذا نِمتُم فأَطفِئُوها عَنْكُم".
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».
Abu Musa reported that a house was burnt down in Medina during the night over its inhabitants. When their matter was reported to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said; This fire is an enemy of yours. So when you go to sleep, extinguish it.
احْتَرَقَ بَيْتٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا حُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَأْنِهِمْ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ النَّارَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ عَدُوٌّ لَكُمْ فَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا عَنْكُمْ
"A house burned down in Al-Madinah, with its occupants inside. The Prophet ﷺ was told of what had happened, and he said: 'This fire is an enemy to you. When you go to sleep, extinguish it.'"
احْتَرَقَ بَيْتٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ فَحُدِّثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَأْنِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ النَّارُ عَدُوٌّ لَكُمْ فَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا عَنْكُمْ
"A house burned down in Al-Madinah, with its occupants inside. The Prophet ﷺ was told of what had happened, and he said: 'This fire is an enemy to you. When you go to sleep, extinguish it.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3770)
وَقَالَ احْتَرَقَ بَيْتٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ فَحُدِّثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَأْنِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ النَّارُ عَدُوٌّ لَكُمْ فَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا عَنْكُمْ
