devils are chained. There is a night [during this month] which is better than a thousand months. Whoever is deprived of its
good is really deprived [of something great]." This is related by Ahmad, an-Nasa'i, and al-Baihaqi.

Hadith 4.523
Jabir bin Abdullah
Narrated by
Allah's Apostle said, "When night falls (or it is evening), keep your children close to you for the devils spread out at that time.
But when an hour of the night elapses, you can let them free. Close the doors and mention the Name of Allah, for Satan does
not open a closed door."

Aisha
Narrated by
The Prophet said, "While the angels talk amidst the clouds about things that are going to happen on earth, the devils hear a
word of what they say and pour it in the ears of a soothsayer as one pours something in a bottle, and they add one hundred
lies to that (one word)."

It is Preferred to have Companions for the Journey
Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade loneliness, i.e., that a man should sleep alone at night, or
go on a journey alone. (Ahmad)
Umar ibn Shu'aib reported from his father and he from his grandfather that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "A single
horseman (traveller) is a devil, two are two devils, but three are a caravan."

Leaving One's House for What is Dear to Allah
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "No one leaves his home without two banners waiting at
his door, one of them in the hands of an angel and the other in the hands of a devil. If he intends to do what pleases Allah the
angel will follow him with his standard, and he will remain under the banner of the angel until he returns to his house, but if he
sets out for what displeases Allah the devil with his banner will follow him about, and he will remain under the devil's banner
until he returns to his house." (Ahmad and At-Tabarani. Its chain of authorities is sound)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 7.527
Jabir bin Abdullah
Narrated by
Allah's Apostle said, "When night falls (or when it is evening), stop your children from going out, for the devils spread out at
that time. But when an hour of the night has passed, release them and close the doors and mention Allah's Name, for Satan
does not open a closed door. Tie the mouth of your water-skin and mention Allah's Name; cover your containers and utensils
and mention Allah's Name. Cover them even by placing something across it, and extinguish your lamps."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 1046
Ali ibn AbuTalib
Narrated by
Ali said on the pulpit in the mosque of Kufah: When Friday comes, the devils go to the markets with their flags, and involve
people in their needs and prevent them from the Friday prayer. The angels come early in the morning, sit at the door of the
mosque, and record that so-and-so came at the first hour, and so-and-so came at the second hour until the imam comes out
(for preaching). When a man sits in a place where he can listen (to the sermon) and look (at the imam), where he remains
silent and does not interrupt, he will receive a double reward. If he stays away, sits in a place where he cannot listen (to the
sermon), silent, and does not interrupt, he will receive the reward only once. If he sits in a place where he can listen (to the
sermon) and look (at the imam), and he does not remain silent, he will have the burden of it. If anyone says to his companion
sitting besides him to be silent (while the imam is preaching), he is guilty of idle talk. Anyone who interrupts (during the
sermon) will receive nothing (no reward) on that Friday. Then he (the narrator) says in the end of this tradition: I heard the
Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say so.
