حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ کُلُّهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاکُ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ مِنْ النَّقِيعِ لَيْسَ مُخَمَّرًا فَقَالَ أَلَّا خَمَّرْتَهُ وَلَوْ تَعْرُضُ عَلَيْهِ عُودًا قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ إِنَّمَا أُمِرَ بِالْأَسْقِيَةِ أَنْ تُوکَأَ لَيْلًا وَبِالْأَبْوَابِ أَنْ تُغْلَقَ لَيْلً
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5242
Abu Humaid Sa'idi reported: I came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with a cup of milk from Naqi' which had no cover over it, whereupon he said: Why did you not cover it? - even if you had covered it only with a stick. Abu Humaid said that he had been ordered that waterskins be tied during the night, and the doors be closed during the night.
