When hearing a donkey bray are we asked to seek Allah’s protection from Shaytan?
Answer:
Yes. Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim (rahimahumallah) have recorded this Hadith. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘When you hear the braying of a donkey, then seek ‘Allah’s refuge from Shaytan for it has seen a Shaytan.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 3303, Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2729)
