Jabir ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said "Do not go out often after the night is still.
Allah has animals which he sends out. Anyone who hears the barking of a
dog or the braying of a donkey should seek refuge with Allah from the Accursed
Shaytan. They see what you do not see."
Jabir ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you hear a dog barking
or a donkey braying in the night, seek refuge with Allah. They see what
you do not see. Shut the doors and mention the Name of Allah over them.
Shaytan will not open a door which has been shut and had the name of Allah
mentioned over it. Then cover the pots, tie the water-skins and cover the
vessels."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم. قَالَ ابْنُ الْهَادِ: وَحَدَّثَنِي شُرَحْبِيلُ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: أَقِلُّوا الْخُرُوجَ بَعْدَ هُدُوءٍ، فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ خَلْقًا يَبُثُّهُمْ، فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نُبَاحَ الْكِلاَبِ أَوْ نُهَاقَ الْحَمِيرِ، فَاسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ.
Jabir reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say "Limit going out after tranquility, for verily there are creations of Allah (whom) He disperses. So if you hear the barking of dogs or the braying of donkeys, then seek refuge with Allah from the Devil."
