Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ صِيَاحَ الدِّيَكَةِ فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ، فَإِنَّهَا رَأَتْ مَلَكًا، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نَهِيقَ الْحِمَارِ فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِنَّهُ رَأَى شَيْطَانًا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Qutayba narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Jaʿfar ibn Rabiʿa, from al-Aʿraj, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘When you hear roosters crowing, ask Allah for His bounty, for they have seen an angel. When you hear a donkey braying, seek refuge with Allah from Satan, for it has seen a satan.’
