Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2012g
This short narration says that the Hadith was transmitted on the authority of Ibn Juraij, like the narration of Rawh. Although the wording here is brief, it points back to the same teaching in the nearby reports. That teaching includes restraining children at the start of night, shutting doors, tying waterskins, covering utensils, mentioning Allah's name where reported, and putting out lamps. The value of this narration is in its chain and confirmation, not in adding many new details. For a reader searching for the Hadith about covering vessels or closing doors at night, this report shows that the teaching was carried through more than one route. It also reminds us that Hadith collections preserve both long texts and short chain notes.
What we learn from this hadith
