Is there a hadith stating that a plague descends every year of the year, such that no vessel without a lid is safe from it?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner asks: Is there a hadith stating that a plague descends from the sky every year, such that no vessel without a lid is safe from it? Or is this claim without any basis?

Answer:
Yes, there is no hadith stating that a plague descends on one of the nights of the year, affecting any food or drink that is not covered. This is part of the wisdom behind covering vessels so that they are not affected on that night. Yes.
