Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "When you hear the barking of dogs or the braying of donkeys at night, seek refuge with Allah, for they see things which you do not see. When people have gone to sleep, go outside less, for Allah disperses various creatures at night, and close the doors while mentioning the name of Allah, for the Shaytan does not open a door that has been closed while mentioning the name of Allah. And cover the water jars, turn the vessels upside down, and tie the mouth of the water-skins with a string."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After people have gone to sleep, reduce going out, because at that time Allah Almighty spreads some of His creatures on the earth."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "During the early darkness of the night, keep your children (inside) at home, and avoid conversation after people have gone to sleep at night, for you do not know which of Allah's creatures He may spread (on the earth). (During the night) close the doors, extinguish the lamps, turn the vessels upside down, and tie the mouth of the water-skins."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "(At night) cover the vessels and tie the mouth of the water-skins with a string, because in the year there is a night in which a plague descends, and it passes by every vessel that is not covered and every water-skin that is not tied, and it enters into it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that he said: A mouse came and started pulling the wick of the lamp. A girl began to scold and chase it away. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the girl: "Leave it." The mouse brought the wick and dropped it on the mat upon which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting, and a portion of the mat, about the size of a dirham, was burnt. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you go to sleep, extinguish the lamp, for Satan incites such animals to do such (mischief), and in this way, they will burn you."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "After night has fallen, avoid conversing at night, because you do not know which of His creatures Allah is about to bring forth."

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Only those who pray and travelers may converse at night."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah and Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated this hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw phlegm on the wall of the mosque, so he scraped it off with a pebble and then said: "If a person (while in prayer) needs to spit, he should not spit in the direction in front of his face nor to his right side; he should spit to his left side or under his left foot."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If anyone sees a pleasant dream, he should relate it and also explain its interpretation, and if he sees an unpleasant dream, he should neither relate it nor explain its interpretation."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Dreams are of three types: glad tidings from Allah, thoughts from the self, and frightening (dreams) from Satan. When a person sees a pleasant dream, he may relate it, and if he sees an unpleasant dream, he should not relate it to anyone and should stand up and pray."
