Excellence of Durud Shareef
The Noble Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم has stated, ‘Whoever recites Salat upon me one time, Allah عزوجل sends ten mercies upon him.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp. 166, vol. 1)


Covering of Dishware & Etiquettes When Going To Bed as Mentioned in Hadith
Hadith 1: It is in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘When the first signs of the darkness of night appear’ or He صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘When evening appears, then gather the children, for the shayateen are circulating. Then when one portion of night passes, you my release them, and say بسم اﷲ and close the doors, for when the doors are closed in this manner, then shaitaan cannot open them. Say بسم اﷲ and tie-up the mouths of the water-skins (jugs or water bottles etc.) and say بسم اﷲ and cover the dishware. If you do not cover them, then put something over it to block it, and put out the lamps’.
Another Hadith of Sahi Bukhari mentions: Close your dishware (i.e. cover your pots etc.) and seal the mouths of the water-skins, and press your doors closed and gather the children in the evening, for during this time the jins are circulating, and they swoop down (to carry away) and at the time of going to bed, put off the lamps (i.e. candles etc.) for sometimes the rat drags the flame with it causing the house to burn down.
It is reported in a narration of Muslim that: Conceal your dishware and tie up the mouth of the water-skin, and shut the doors and put off the lamps, for shaitaan will (then) neither open the water-skin, nor will he open the doors or the dishware (i.e. pots etc.). If you do not find anything (to cover it with), then take a stick and say بسم اﷲ (Bismillah) and merely place it like a covering. It is also mentioned in another narration of Muslim that: There comes a night in a year, wherein affliction (pandemic etc.) descends. If any dishware is not closed or if the mouth of any water-skin is not tied (i.e. if a water bottle is not closed), then if the pandemic passes by there, it will creep into it.

Hadith 2: Imam Ahmed, Muslim and Abu Dawud have reported from Hazrat Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ. that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘When the sun sets, then until the blackness (i.e. darkness) of Esha does not start to disappear, do not release your animals and your children, for it is the time when the shayateen are circulating’.

Hadith 3: It is in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘Do not leave fires (burning) in your homes when going to bed (i.e. when sleeping)’.

Hadith 4: It is reported in Sahih Bukhari on the authority of Abu Musa Ash’ari رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that a house had burnt down one night in Madina. Huzoor صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘This fire is your enemy. Put it out when going to sleep’.

Hadith 5: It is in Sharhus Sunnah from Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Nabi صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said that, ‘when you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys at night, read اَعُوْذُ بِاللہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِیْم (A’oozu Bil’laahi minash shaitaanir rajeem), for they see that which you are not able to see and when the sound of footsteps stops (i.e. when people stop walking around). Then avoid coming out of the house, for Allah leaves whosoever He Wills from amongst His creation to circulate the earth at night’.
Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 16)
