(174) باب فِي إِطْفَاءِ النَّارِ بِاللَّيْلِ
Ibn 'Abbas said:
A mouse came dragging a wick and dropped before the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) on the mat on which he was sitting with the result that it burned a hole in it about the size of dirham. He (the prophet) said: When you go to sleep, extinguish your lamps, for the devil guides a creature like this to do thus and sets you on fire. (FR)
