وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَجُلًا يَتْبَعُ حَمَامَةً فَقَالَ: «شَيْطَانٌ يَتْبَعُ شَيْطَانَةً» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالْبِيهَقِيُّ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ

It is related from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) saw a man following a pigeon and said, “A devil is following a she-devil.” Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and al-Bayhaqi in Shuab al-Iman transmitted it.
