Al-Amālī - Twenty Third Assembly Chapter: Cover your utensils... 18 - وبالإسناد الأول عن علي بن ٠هزيار، عن ابن فضال، عن يونس ابن يعقوب، عن أبي ٠عن أبي عبد الله أو عن أبي جعفر عليه٠ته، عن جابر بن عبد الله قال: قال لنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسل٠، وأجيفوا أبوابك٠ة العشاء.

إن الشياطين لا تكشف غطاء، ولا تحل وكاء، وإن الشياطين ترسل ٠، فإن الفويسقة تضر٠18.

And with the preceding chain of narration from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar, from Ibn Faddhal, from Yunus ibn Yaqub, from Abu Maryam, from Abu Abdillah or Abu Ja’far, peace be upon them both, from Jabir ibn Abdillah that: The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said to us: "Cover your utensils and put a lid over the vessels from which you drink, and shut your doors tight, and tie down your herds, and send your family members indoors, as the sun sets till when the darkness of Isha is dispelled.

Surely, the devils do not open the covers, nor do they undo the lids. And the devils are sent off when the sun sets. And put off your lamps, for sometimes the rats kindle fire from it setting the whole house on fire, on its inmates."
