حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، وَمَنْصُورُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا صَلَّى الرَّجُلُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ كَآخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ أَوْ كَوَاسِطَةِ الرَّحْلِ ، قَطَعَ صَلَاتَهُ الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ " فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ : مَا بَالُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْأَحْمَرِ مِنَ الْأَبْيَضِ ؟ فَقَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي سَأَلْتَنِي كَمَا سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ " قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ , وَالْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيِّ , وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , وَأَنَسٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِلَيْهِ ، قَالُوا : يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ : الَّذِي لَا أَشُكُّ فِيهِ أَنَّ الْكَلْبَ الْأَسْوَدَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ ، وَفِي نَفْسِي مِنَ الْحِمَارِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ شَيْءٌ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاق : لَا يَقْطَعُهَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ .
´Abu Dharr said that :` Allah's Messenger said: "When a man performs Salat, and there is nothing in front of him like the post of a saddle, or a camel saddle, then his Salat is severed by (passing of) a black dog, a woman, and a donkey." It was said to Abu Dharr: "What is the problem with the black dog rather than the red or white one?" He said: "O my nephew! I asked Allah's Messenger just as you have asked me. He said: 'The black dog is a Shaitan (devil).'"

1:
Here, by "invalidated" is meant a reduction in the reward and blessing of the prayer,
not that the prayer becomes completely invalid.
Some scholars are of the opinion that it becomes entirely invalid, because this is what is established from the apparent wording.
Therefore, the one performing prayer should be extremely careful to pray towards a sutrah (barrier).

751. Commentary: According to the majority of scholars, the passing of something in front of a person does not invalidate the prayer, because there is a narration in Abu Dawud: «لا يقطعُ الصَّلاةَ شيءٌ» [سنن أبي داود ، الصلاة ، حدیث : 719]
That is, "Nothing breaks the prayer." Therefore, here, the breaking of the prayer refers to the loss of humility and submissiveness (khushu‘ and khudu‘). However, another group of scholars holds the view that the prayer is indeed invalidated. They have two arguments for this.
➊ The first is that the aforementioned hadith of Abu Dawud: «لا يقطعُ الصَّلاةَ شيءٌ» is weak, and thus not suitable as evidence. For further details, see: [ضعیف سنن أبي داود (مفصل) : 265/9 ، حدیث : 116]
➋ The second argument is a clear hadith which clarifies the meaning of "cutting off the prayer." Its words are: «تُعادُ الصَّلاةُ من مَمَرِّ الحِمارِ ، والمرأةِ ، والكَلْبِ الأَسْوَدِ ، وقال : الكَلْبُ الأَسْوَدُ شَيْطانٌ» [صحیح ابن خزیمه ، حدیث : 831 ، و صحیح ابن حبان ، حدیث : 2391 ، بتحقیق الشیخ شعیب ، وانظر اصحیحة للألباني ، حدیث : 3323]
"By the passing of a donkey, a woman, and a black dog (the prayer is broken), and the prayer must be repeated." This hadith determines the apparent meaning of "cutting off the prayer" and rejects its interpretation as merely the loss of humility and submissiveness. Therefore, in all subsequent narrations as well, the apparent meaning of "cutting off the prayer" will be intended. And Allah knows best.
