قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا كَانَ جُنْحُ اللَّيْلِ ـ أَوْ أَمْسَيْتُمْ ـ فَكُفُّوا صِبْيَانَكُمْ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ تَنْتَشِرُ حِينَئِذٍ، فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ سَاعَةٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَحُلُّوهُمْ، فَأَغْلِقُوا الأَبْوَابَ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لاَ يَفْتَحُ بَابًا مُغْلَقًا، وَأَوْكُوا قِرَبَكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، وَخَمِّرُوا آنِيَتَكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَعْرُضُوا عَلَيْهَا شَيْئًا وَأَطْفِئُوا، مَصَابِيحَكُمْ .
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When night falls (or when it is evening), stop your children from going out, forthe devils spread out at that time. But when an hour of the night has passed, release them and close thedoors and mention Allah's Name, for Satan does not open a closed door. Tie the mouth of your waterskinand mention Allah's Name; cover your containers and utensils and mention Allah's Name. Coverthem even by placing something across it, and extinguish your lamps. "
