Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ الرَّجُلِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ الْأَسْوَدِ فِي الْأَحْمَرِ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْأَسْوَدَ شَيْطَانٌ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far and Hajjaj told us, they said: Shu'bah told us, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Abd Allah ibn al-Samit, from Abu Dharr, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "The prayer is interrupted, if there is not before the man something like the rear of a saddle, by a woman, a donkey, or a black dog." I said: What is the matter with the black one as opposed to the red one? He said: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, as you have asked me, and he said: "Indeed the black one is a devil."
