Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Extinguish the lamps when you go to bed; close your doors; tie the mouths of
your water skins, and cover the food and drinks." I think he added, ". . . even with a stick you place
across the container."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When night falls (or when it is evening), stop your children from going out, for
the devils spread out at that time. But when an hour of the night has passed, release them and close the
doors and mention Allah's Name, for Satan does not open a closed door. Tie the mouth of your waterskin
and mention Allah's Name; cover your containers and utensils and mention Allah's Name. Cover
them even by placing something across it, and extinguish your lamps. "
