Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5623

أَمْسَيْتُمْ ـ فَكُفُّوا صِبْيَانَكُمْ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ تَنْتَشِرُ حِينَئِذٍ، فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ سَاعَةٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَحُلُّوهُمْ، فَأَغْلِقُوا الأَبْوَابَ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لاَ يَفْتَحُ بَابًا مُغْلَقًا، وَأَوْكُوا قِرَبَكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، وَخَمِّرُوا آنِيَتَكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَعْرُضُوا عَلَيْهَا شَيْئًا وَأَطْفِئُوا، مَصَابِيحَكُمْ

amsaytum fakuffūā ṣibyānakum, fa-inna ash-shayāṭīna tantashiru ḥīnaʾidhin, fa-idhā dhahaba sāʿatun mina al-layli faḥullūhum, fa-aghliqūā al-abwāba wādhkurūā āsma-Llāh, fa-inna ash-shayṭāna lā yaftaḥu bāban mughlaqan, wa-awkūā qirabakum wādhkurūā āsma-Llāh, wakhammirūā āniyatakum wādhkurūā āsma-Llāh, walaw an taʿruḍūā ʿalayhā shayʾan wa-aṭfiʾūā, maṣābīḥakum

The full narration

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 waterskin 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
