Sahih Muslim 2010a (Book 36, Hadith 116) #12346
The Importance of Covering Food and Drinks & Closing Doors at Night

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of covering and protecting food and drinks, as well as closing doors at night.

Abu Humaid Sa'idi reported: I came to Allah's Messenger with a cup of milk from Naqi' which had no cover over it, whereupon he said: Why did you not cover it? - even if you had covered it only with a stick. Abu Humaid said that he had been ordered that waterskins be tied during the night, and the doors be closed during the night.
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ، بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ مِنَ النَّقِيعِ لَيْسَ مُخَمَّرًا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلاَّ خَمَّرْتَهُ وَلَوْ تَعْرُضُ عَلَيْهِ عُودًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ إِنَّمَا أُمِرَ بِالأَسْقِيَةِ أَنْ تُوكَأَ لَيْلاً وَبِالأَبْوَابِ أَنْ تُغْلَقَ لَيْلاً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of taking care to cover food and drinks, as well as closing doors at night. It was narrated by Abu Humaid Sa'idi that he came to Allah's Messenger with a cup of milk from Naqi' which had no cover over it, whereupon he said "Why did you not cover it? Even if you had covered it only with a stick." He was then instructed to tie waterskins during the night, and close the doors during the night. This teaches us that we should take extra precautions when storing food or drinks in order to protect them from dirt or other contaminants. Additionally, we should also make sure our homes are secure by closing all doors before going to bed each night.
