Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A house in Al-Madinah caught fire at night and the roof and wallsfell down upon the occupants. When this was reported to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) he said, "Fire is your enemy; so put it out before you go to bed".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The order of the Prophet (PBUH) in this Hadith relates to the lamps which produced light by means of oil and wick which can cause fire. Such lamps were used in the time of the Prophet (PBUH). There is no such risk in electric bulbs which are being used in the present age.
