The messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When anyone of you stands to pray, then he is screened if he has in front of him something as high as the back of a camel saddle. If he does not have something as high as the back of a camel saddle in front of him, then his prayer is nullified by a woman, a donkey or a black dog." I (one of the narrators)said: "What is the difference between a black dog, a yellow one and a red one?" He said: I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ just like you and he said:"The black dog is a shaitan."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتُرُهُ إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ صَلاَتَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ قُلْتُ مَا بَالُ الأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الأَصْفَرِ مِنَ الأَحْمَرِ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ  

Abu Dharr said (and not the Prophet): If there is not anything like the back of a saddle in front of a man who is praying, then a donkey, a black dog, and a woman cut off his prayer. I asked him: Why has the black dog been specified, distinguishing it from a red, a yellow and a white dog? He replied: My nephew, I also asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the same question as you asked me. He said: The black dog is a devil.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالاَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَقْطَعُ صَلاَةَ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قِيدُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ الْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ الأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الأَحْمَرِ مِنَ الأَصْفَرِ مِنَ الأَبْيَضِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ  

“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 (‘Abdullah) said: “What is wrong with a black dog and not a red one?” He (Abu Dharr) said: ‘I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the same question, and he said: “The black dog is a Shaitan (satan).”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ الرَّجُلِ مِثْلُ مُؤْخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا بَالُ الأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الأَحْمَرِ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The prayer is invalidated by a woman, a donkey, and a black dog." So I said, "O Abu Dharr, what about a dog that is black and red or yellow?" He said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ just as you asked me, and he said, 'The black dog is a devil.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ» فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا بَالُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْأَحْمَرِ مِنَ الْأَصْفَرِ؟ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ «الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The prayer is cut off by a donkey, a woman, and a black dog." I asked, "What about a black dog compared to a red one, a yellow one, or a white one?" He said, "O son of my brother, I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, 'Verily, the black dog is a devil.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْأَحْمَرِ مِنَ الْأَصْفَرِ مِنَ الْأَبْيَضِ؟ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْكَلْبَ الْأَسْوَدَ شَيْطَانٌ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The black dog and the woman interrupt the prayer." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with the black dog compared to the white or red dog?" He said, "Indeed, the black dog is a devil."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَالُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْأَبْيَضِ مِنَ الْأَحْمَرِ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْأَسْوَدَ شَيْطَانٌ»
