حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ وَلَيْسَ بِتَمَامِهِ قَالَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا غَلَقًا وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِکَائً وَلَا يَکْشِفُ إِنَائً وَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَی النَّاسِ بَيْتَهُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتَهُمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3732
Jabir bin Abdullah reported the Prophet ﷺas saying this version is not complete ‘’for the devil does not open a shut door, or loosen a water-skin, or uncover a vessel, for a mouse sets a house on fire over its inhabitants’’.
