وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ‏:‏ ‏"‏غطوا الإناء، وأوكئوا السِّقَاءَ، وَأَغْلِقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ، وَأَطْفِئُوا السِّرَاجَ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَحُلُّ سِقَاءً، ولايفتح بابًا ولايكشف إناءً، إن لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَعْرُضَ عَلَى إِنَائِهِ عُودًا، وَيَذْكُرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ، فَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ بَيْتَهُمْ‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رَوَاهُ مُسْلِم‏)‏‏)‏ ‏"‏الفويسقة‏:‏ الفأرة، و‏"‏تضرم‏"‏‏:‏ تحرق‏.‏

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Cover up the (kitchen) containers (i.e., pots, pans, etc.), tie up the mouth of the water-skin, lock up the doors and extinguish the lamps, because Satan can neither untie the water-skin nor open the door nor uncover the containers. If one can cover the cooking pot even by placing a piece of wood across it, and pronounce the Name of Allah on it, let him do it. A mouse can sometimes cause a house to burn along its dwellers." [Muslim]
