Types of goodness and good etiquette for community
life
267. When evening
descends, bring your children indoors for the devils scatter out at this
hour. Then after the passing of an hour (i.e. the first hour) of the
night, (you may) let them (the children) go. Close your doors while
mentioning the Name of Allah, for the devil may not open a closed door.
Fasten your water-skins mentioning the Name of Allah. Cover your eating
vessels mentioning the Name of Allah even if you just put something over
it, and extinguish your lamps.
