5104. It was narrated from (Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh and) ‘Alī bin ‘Umar bin Ḥusain bin ‘Alī, who said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Do not go out much when there are few people about, for Allāh has animals that he scatters throughout the earth.’” (Da’if) Ibn Marwān said: “at that hour.” And he said: “or Allāh has creatures,” then he mentioned the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys.
