Question
Please I want you to help me with the prophetic tradition on what the Cock is said to have seen when it crows and what a Muslim is supposed to say.Answer
Walaikum assalam,
Imam Nawawi mentions in his colossus as follows:
“It has been narrated to us in Bukhari and Muslim from the Prophet (Allah bless him and give peace) that he said, when you hear the bray of a donkey, then seek refuge in Allah from the satan, because it has seen satan. And when you hear crow of a cock, then ask Allah for his favour, as it has seen an angel.” (Imam Nawawi, Kitabu’l-Adhkar pg 374)
And Allah alone gives success.
Wassalam,
Ilyas.
