commendable etiquettes
"... and no devil will come near you until morning!"
Allah ta^ala says:
﴾وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ مَنَامُكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَابْتِغَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ﴿
And among His signs is your sleep during the night and your pursuit of His bounty during the day. Indeed, in these are signs for those who listen attentively [with reflection and understanding].

beside the Black Stone
No one supplicates for anything at al-Multazam except that it is answered
Allah has designated specific places within His Sacred House with particular distinctions. The honoured Ka^bah, the sanctuary to which hearts are drawn, and the Qiblah for Muslims across the earth. Within it are locations of immense virtue, among which is al-Multazam.

The Prophetic etiquettes for one blessed with a newborn
Allah, ta^ala, said:
﴾وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً﴿
“And Allah has made for you spouses from your own kind, and from your spouses has granted you grandchildren [to assist you in fulfilling your needs and supporting your affairs].”

prescribed measures
When the Prophet ﷺ intended to sleep while in a state of janabah
Another practice from the Sunnah is shaking the bedding three times. ‘Abu Hurayrah, may Allah accept his deeds, reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“إِذَا جَاءَ أحَدُكُمْ فِرَاشَهُ فَلْيَنْفُضْهُ بِصَنِفَةِ ثَوْبِهِ -أي طَرَفِهِ- ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَلْيَقُلْ بِاسْمِكَ رَبِّ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي وَبِكَ أرْفَعُهُ، إِنْ أمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا، وَإِنْ أرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ”

grinding grain
Shall I not teach you something better than owning a servant?
It was reported that ^Aliyy ibnu ‘Abi Talib, may Allah accept his deeds, mentioned that Fatimah, may Allah accept her deeds, complained about the pain in her hands caused by the millstone (ar-raha[1]), which she used for grinding grain.
