Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A black dog, a donkey, and a woman break the prayer.” I asked Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him): What is special about a black dog among other dogs? He said: Nephew! I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the same as you have asked me, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A black dog is a devil.”
