Abdur Rahman bin Abzi narrates: A man asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I become impure due to janabah and I do not find water (so what should I do?). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not pray (until you find water). Sayyiduna Ammar said: Do you not remember, in the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), you and I participated in a military expedition with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). (So I rolled in the earth) This matter was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so he said: It would have been enough for you, then he struck his blessed hand on the earth, blew on his palms, and wiped his face and both arms. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says: The Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sufficing with one vessel for the face and both hands while teaching tayammum is a clear statement that it is permissible to perform another obligatory act with that by which one obligatory act has been performed. Its form is that it is obligatory for the person performing tayammum to wipe his face and both hands. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has permitted for both hands in tayammum that which remains (of dust) on his palm after performing the obligatory act for the face, so it is correct that the earth by which the obligatory act of one vessel has been performed, it is permissible to perform the obligatory act of another vessel with it in the second time. So when this is correct in tayammum, it will also be correct in wudu.)

Awn bin Abu Hujayfah narrates from his father: I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a red tent. I saw Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) come out carrying the leftover water from the Prophet’s ablution. I saw people rushing towards the leftover water of ablution and they began to rub it on their bodies. Then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came out carrying a spear. He fixed it in the ground. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came out wearing a red Yemeni cloak. He faced towards the spear and performed prayer, while people and animals were passing on the other side of it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: One of the noble wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ghusl (ritual bath) in a tub (of water), then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and began to perform wudu (ablution) or perhaps ghusl with the leftover water. The lady said: O Messenger of Allah! I was in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Nothing makes water impure.

Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa‘idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I brought milk to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which was not covered. At that time, you were at the place of "Naqi‘". You said: Why did you not cover it? Even if you had placed a stick over it. Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were commanded regarding vessels that at night their mouths should be closed, and regarding doors, we were commanded that at night they should be closed.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "(At night when going to sleep) close the doors, tie the mouths of the water skins, cover the vessels, and extinguish the lamps, because the devil does not open closed doors, does not untie the mouths of tied water skins, does not remove the cover from vessels, and sometimes a mouse sets people's houses on fire."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Close the doors by taking the name of Allah, for indeed, Satan does not open closed doors. Extinguish your lamps by taking the name of Allah, and close the mouth of your water-skins by taking the name of Allah. Cover your vessels by taking the name of Allah, even if you place a piece of wood over them."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us with four things, and forbade us from five things. (He said:) When you go to sleep, close your door, tie the mouth of your water-skin, cover your vessel, and extinguish your lamp, because Satan does not open a closed door, does not untie a tied water-skin, does not uncover a covered vessel, and sometimes a mouse sets the house on fire along with its inhabitants. And do not eat with your left hand, do not drink with your left hand, do not walk wearing only one shoe, do not wear your garment in the manner of ishtimal as-samma’ (wrapping it tightly around the body), and do not sit in your house in such a way with your garment that your private parts become exposed.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "Close the mouth of the water-skin when you go to sleep at night, and cover food and drink, because the devil comes; if he finds a door not closed, he enters, and if he finds the mouth of a water-skin not closed, he drinks from it. But if he finds the door closed, or the mouth of the water-skin closed, he cannot open the closed mouth of the water-skin nor the closed door. And if a person does not find anything to cover his vessel in which his drink is, then he should place even a piece of wood over it."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us, "Close your doors, tie the mouths of your water-skins, cover your vessels, and extinguish your lamps, for indeed Satan does not open a closed door, nor untie a tied water-skin, nor uncover a covered vessel, and sometimes a mouse sets the house on fire along with its inhabitants. Keep your livestock and family members inside the house near sunset until the early part of the night has passed."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep your livestock (inside the house) confined until the early part of the night passes, because this is an hour in which Satan sets fire."
