Close the door, tie the water-skin, turn over the vessel, cover the vessel and extinguish torch .

This hadith encourages people to take precautions against mischief by closing doors, tying water skins, turning over vessels and covering them as well as extinguishing torches. It is narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Prophet Muhammad said that Shaitan does not open what is closed nor undo what is fastened nor uncover a vessel but small vermin may cause a fire in people's houses. The Prophet Muhammad was teaching us how we can protect ourselves from harm and mischief by taking simple steps such as closing doors or covering vessels. He also warned us about the dangers of leaving things uncovered or unsecured which could lead to fires in our homes caused by small vermin like mice or rats. By following these simple steps we can protect ourselves from potential danger and harm caused by Shaitan or other creatures.
