Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَحَدُكُمْ قَامَ يُصَلِّي فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتُرُهُ إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ صَلَاتَهُ الْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا بَالُ الْكَلْبِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنْ الْكَلْبِ الْأَحْمَرِ مِنْ الْكَلْبِ الْأَصْفَرِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ.
English Translation
Isma'il told us, from Yunus, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Abd Allah ibn al-Samit, from Abu Dharr, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When one of you stands to pray, he is screened if there is before him something like the rear of a saddle; but if there is not before him something like the rear of a saddle, then his prayer is interrupted by a donkey, a woman, or a black dog." I said: O Abu Dharr, what is the matter with the black dog as opposed to the red dog or the yellow dog? He said: O son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, as you have asked me, and he said: "The black dog is a devil."
