Sahih al-Bukhari 3316
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ " خَمِّرُوا الآنِيَةَ، وَأَوْكُوا الأَسْقِيَةَ، وَأَجِيفُوا الأَبْوَابَ، وَاكْفِتُوا صِبْيَانَكُمْ عِنْدَ الْعِشَاءِ، فَإِنَّ لِلْجِنِّ انْتِشَارًا وَخَطْفَةً، وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمَصَابِيحَ عِنْدَ الرُّقَادِ، فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ رُبَّمَا اجْتَرَّتِ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَأَحْرَقَتْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ ". قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَحَبِيبٌ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ فَإِنَّ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ.
Musaddad narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Kathir, from ʿAtaʾ, from Jabir ibn ʿAbd Allah (may Allah be pleased with them both), who attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ: ‘Cover your vessels, tie your waterskins, shut your doors, and keep your children close at nightfall, for the jinn spread out and snatch things then. Extinguish the lamps when going to sleep, for a harmful little creature may drag away the wick and burn the household.’ Ibn Jurayj and Habib, from ʿAtaʾ, transmitted ‘the devils’ instead of ‘the jinn.’
Translation notes
Preserved the closing variant that substitutes ‘devils’ for ‘jinn.’
