Question:
Please, my brother Muhammad from Ha'il. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. May Allah reward you with good. We do not burden you; we want to be brief. I want to ask the Shaykh about the authenticity of the hadith that says, when... I mean, after the sun sets or the wing of night, the jinn spread out at that time, so restrain your children and cover your vessels. And from our experience, disasters always happen at this time, such as accidents and fires and such. Is this hadith authentic? And I do not know anyone who acts upon it now, frankly. Abu 'Abd. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah reward you with good. Thank you. Please, Shaykh. He asks: Is there a hadith that says when the sun sets, the jinn spread out, so restrain your children and cover your vessels?
Answer:
Yes, a hadith or hadiths of good quality have been narrated with this, and acting upon it is good. When the night descends, they restrain their children from the spread of the jinn so that no harm befalls them, and they cover their vessels so that nothing befalls them from what descends from the sky. This hadith is from the prescribed etiquettes; this hadith is from the hadiths of the prescribed etiquettes, and acting upon it is among the good deeds of the Muslims. Yes.
