حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا لَمْ يَکُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ الرَّجُلِ مِثْلُ مُؤَخِّرَةِ الرَّحْلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْکَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا بَالُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنْ الْأَحْمَرِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْکَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 952
It was narrated from ‘Abdullâh bin Sâmit from Abu Dharr, that the prophet P.B.U.H said: “The prayer is severed by a woman, a donkey, and a black dog, if there is not something like the handle of a saddle in front of a man.” I (‘Abdullâh) said: “What is wrong with a black dog and not a red one?” He (Abu Dharr) said: ‘I asked the Messenger of Allah p.b.u.h the same questiofl and he said: “The black dog is a Shaithn (satan).” (Sahih)
