There is a hadeeth that states that we must cover vessels of water or food over the night because of fear of an illness that might affect it. There is nothing about devils or Satan residing there.

Kindly advise, I’ve been told that if you leave a glass of water uncovered in a clean environment and drink it an hour or two later or through the night it is a sin as shyaytaan resides in the water?
