Is the ruling on closing doors and covering vessels specific to the night rather than the day, as Abu Hamid understood it, and is his understanding considered a ruling from a Marfu' Hadith, or is it his own interpretation? And is the Hadith of Jabir regarding covering vessels applicable during the day without closing doors?
It appears that the command to close doors and cover vessels applies at night, and it is possible that it includes both day and night, due to the preservation of property and food therein. This is an ijtihad (independent reasoning) from the Companion, and the command in it is for recommendation and guidance.
