Note: It has become clear to you from the documentation of the hadith that the addition, “at night,” is found exclusively in al-Adab al-Mufrad and other works, not in the Two Sahihs. Therefore, Muhammad Fuʾad ʿAbd al-Baqi’s attribution of it to the Two Sahihs in his notes on al-Adab is one of his many errors, which show that he had no knowledge of the discipline of hadith documentation. Al-Gilani, the commentator on al-Adab (2/637), likewise erred when he attributed it to the Five—by which he meant the Six collections excluding Ibn Majah. This is an even graver error than the former, since, as mentioned above, the addition is not found in all of them.

Something similar was done by the annotator of ... Sahih Ibn Hibban (3/286). He documented the hadith by attributing it to most of the sources mentioned above and indicating their locations by number, including the Five, thus giving the impression that Ibn Hibban’s addition, “and turn to Him in earnest hope,” is also found in them. But this is not so, as has preceded. I therefore decided to include the hadith in Sahih Mawarid al-Zamʾan on account of this addition, since al-Haythami did not include it in al-Mawarid, because its original wording is found in the Two Sahihs. And Allah knows best.

Close the doors and mention Allah’s name over them, for Satan does not open a door that has been closed and over which Allah’s name has been mentioned.

Cover the jars, turn the vessels upside down, and tie up the waterskins.”

Abu Yaʿla transmitted it in his Musnad (4/210–211), and through his route Ibn Hibban (5493): “ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿUmar narrated to us; Yazid ibn Zurayʿ narrated to us; Muhammad ibn”
