3459. Abū Hurairah [may Allāh be pleased with him] narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When you hear the crowing of the roosters, then ask Allāh of His bounty, for verily they have seen an angel. When you hear the braying of a donkey, then seek refuge in Allāh from Shaitān, [the rejected] for, verily, it has seen a Shaitān." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٣٤٥٩ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ صِيَاحَ الدِّيَكَةِ، فَاسْأَلُوا اللهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ؛» فَإِنَّهَا رَأَتْ مَلَكًا، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نَهِيقَ الْحِمَارِ، فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ رَأَى شَيْطَانًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

A rooster on sighting an angel crows so on hearing the crowing of the rooster one should beg Allāh's bounties and favors and should believe that on his supplication the angel will say Amin. A donkey brays on the sight of Satan so on hearing the braying of a donkey one should seek refuge in Allāh ﷻ.
