Bukhari 3303 — The rooster's crow: it saw an angel

البخاري 3303 — صياح الديكة رأت مَلَكاً

In the Book of the Beginning of Creation, from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him): when you hear the crowing of roosters ask God's bounty, for they have seen an angel; and when you hear the braying of donkeys seek refuge from Satan, for they have seen a Satan.

«إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ صِيَاحَ الدِّيَكَةِ فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ، فَإِنَّهَا رَأَتْ مَلَكًا، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نَهِيقَ الْحِمَارِ فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِنَّهُ رَأَى شَيْطَانًا»
